Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside, allowing residual heat to keep it warm.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds. Toss in 4 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Introduce 1 sliced red bell pepper and 1 cup of julienned carrots into the skillet, stirring them together with the garlic. Sauté the mixture for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still vibrant in color.
- While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together in a bowl 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Set this sauce aside.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, pouring the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together and continue cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- In a separate large pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the sautéed zucchini noodles to the skillet with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss all ingredients together until completely combined.
- To finish, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Serve immediately.
