Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole red chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the aromatics: mince the garlic cloves and peel and slice the ginger into thin pieces.
In a large pot, add the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot along with the coconut aminos, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
While the chicken is simmering, spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, and set them aside.
Slice the scallions thinly and chop the cilantro. Slice the red chili pepper thinly, removing the seeds if a milder spice level is desired.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the broth and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the broth. Add the zucchini noodles to the pot and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are just tender.
Stir in the sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, and sesame oil. Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh lime wedges and sliced red chili pepper for an added kick.
