Start by spiralizing the zucchinis to make noodles, or use a julienne peeler if you don't have a spiralizer. Set the zoodles aside.
Thinly slice the chicken breast into strips.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, rice vinegar, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry until itβs cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, adding in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are just tender, but not mushy.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and toss in chopped green onions and cashews.
Garnish with cilantro leaves before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Hakka Noodles!
