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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the coconut aminos. Stir everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
