Ingredients

Chicken and Zucchini "Noodles"

2 chicken breasts cut into pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium zucchini spiral
1 small red pepper thinly sliced
1 green onion thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
Sesame seeds for garnish

Sauce

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup Low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon minced Garlic
1 tablespoon finely grated Ginger
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Combine the soy sauce with the cornstarch and toss with the chicken breast until coated.
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and when it is sizzling hot, cook the breasts for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan.
Use a spiralizer and spiral the zucchinis. You may wish to cut the pieces in half.
Add the zucchini to a large bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Check the zucchini for doneness and continue cooking for another 30 to 45 seconds until just tender.
Combine all the ingredients for the sauce and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Place the cooked zucchini to the pan the chicken was cooked in, then add back in the chicken and add the red pepper slices. Pour the sauce over the stir fry and toss gently to coat.
Serve with green onion slices, some cilantro and sesame seeds.
