Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 inch, grated ginger
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 sliced green onions
- 2 medium, julienned carrots
- 1 cup, sliced button mushrooms
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 juiced lime
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis, and set them aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring it to a simmer. Stir in coconut aminos, lime juice, and coconut milk.
Add the sliced mushrooms and julienned carrots to the broth and let them cook for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the pot and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add the zucchini noodles to the pot and stir gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender but not mushy.
Add sliced green onions just before serving and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the Paleo Chicken Top Ramen hot, garnished with extra green onions or lime wedges as desired.
