Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the large zucchinis and set them aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
Mince the garlic cloves and shallots; set them aside separately.
Chop the green onions and fresh cilantro, and set aside the green onions for garnish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken with a pinch of salt and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Then remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining coconut oil, along with the minced garlic and shallots. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the coconut aminos, Chinese five-spice powder, ground white pepper, and remaining salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Return the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes to absorb flavors.
In a separate pot, boil a small amount of water and blanch the zucchini noodles for about 1-2 minutes, just until tender but not mushy. Drain quickly and arrange them in serving bowls.
Top the zucchini noodles with the prepared chicken mixture.
Garnish each bowl with chopped green onions, a squeeze of lime, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and flavor.
