Ingredients
  

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 medium zucchinis spiralized into noodles
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for a touch of sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger optional, for extra flavor
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha optional, for heat

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

  • Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear.
  • Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer, or use pre-made zucchini noodles for convenience.
  • Mince garlic and, if using, grate fresh ginger.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 3: Sauté Garlic and Zoodles

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to overcook the zoodles—they should be slightly tender but still have some crunch.

Step 4: Combine and Toss

  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and zoodles, tossing everything together until well-coated.
  • Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful garlic chicken zucchini noodles stir fry!
