Print Recipe

A quick and healthy stir fry featuring chicken, zucchini noodles, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 medium zucchinis, spiralized
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the red bell pepper and carrots. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour the sauce over the chicken and veggies. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add spiralized zucchini and sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly tender.
  7. Combine the zucchini noodles with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry, tossing everything together and coating the noodles with the sauce.
  8. Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the zucchini noodles; they should remain slightly firm for the best texture. You can marinate the chicken beforehand for extra flavor.
