Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 ounces thinly sliced chicken breast, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 spiralized medium zucchinis to the skillet and toss with the garlic-ginger oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes until zucchini softens but remains slightly firm.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Toss everything for 2 minutes until well combined and heated through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds before serving.
