Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Step 2: Add 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 3 tablespoons coconut aminos, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes to coat the chicken.
Step 3: Add 4 spiralized medium zucchinis to the skillet and toss gently with the chicken for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are just tender but still firm. Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
