Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry, then season with 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp turmeric. Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C), then set aside and tent with foil.
Step 3: In the same skillet, heat remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add ginger and minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Add spiralized zucchini and 2 tbsp coconut aminos, tossing for 2-3 minutes until zucchini is tender-crisp but not mushy, then stir in lime juice and 1 tbsp chives.
Step 5: Slice chicken, then toss with zucchini noodles and remaining chives, serving immediately while hot.
