Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it to keep warm.
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn it.
- Introduce sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots to the pan, stirring them into the garlic. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together low sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until the honey is dissolved. Pour this sauce over the sautéed vegetables.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan, mixing it with the vegetables and sauce. Stir everything together for about 2-3 minutes, cooking until the sauce slightly thickens.
- In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add spiralized zucchini and sauté for about 2 minutes until tender but still al dente.
- Combine the zucchini noodles with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything gently to ensure the olive oil and sauce coat the zucchini noodles.
- Garnish your Garlic Chicken Zucchini Noodles Stir Fry with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
