Peanut Chicken Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons sesame oil (you'll need more for the peanut sauce below)
• 2 teaspoons minced or chopped garlic
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 large zucchini, spiralized into noodles
• 2 large chicken breasts, cooked & shredded (about 2-3 cups)

Toppings: 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds, handful of cilantro, 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped green onion

Peanut Sauce

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
• 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha or any hot chili sauce

Special Equipment

• Spiralizer

Directions

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, cabbage, and pepper slices. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are a little tender. (I usually begin the peanut sauce, step 2, during this time.) Once tender, add the zucchini noodles and shredded chicken to the skillet. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes until the zucchini is a little softer and chicken is warm. Turn off stove and remove from heat. Set aside. (*If your skillet isn’t quite big enough, you can do this step in batches.)
2. Combine all of the peanut sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk constantly until the peanut butter has melted and everything is combined.
3. Once the sauce is heated through, pour over chicken/vegetables. Toss everything around until combined. Place on a serving dish (or not!) and top with sesame seeds, cilantro, peanuts, and green onion. Serve immediately.
