Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large zucchini , spiralized into thick noodles
  • 4 cloves garlic , finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons low -sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Pat chicken cubes dry with paper towels and season with black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and sear until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, approximately 6 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
  • Add zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss constantly for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still firm (al dente).
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  • Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing for 1 minute to emulsify the sauce and coat all ingredients.
  • Remove from heat immediately to prevent the zucchini from releasing excess moisture.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
