Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer to create noodles from the 4 medium zucchinis and set them aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and sesame oil. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the coconut aminos. Stir everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Add the zucchini noodles and toss gently to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are just tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
