- 4 stalks scallions
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 large carrots
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breast in the freezer for 10 minutes to make slicing easier.
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
Remove the chicken from the freezer and thinly slice it against the grain.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken slices with arrowroot powder, 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the ginger.
Slice the scallions, separating the white parts from the green tops.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper and julienne the carrots.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok.
Add the chicken to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the remaining coconut aminos. Stir everything together.
Gently fold in the zucchini noodles, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender.
Garnish with the green parts of the scallions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Chow Fun!
