Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 large zucchini spiralized
  • Himalayan pink salt and black pepper to taste
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Add chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, ground ginger and minced garlic to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Cut off the ends of each zucchini and run through spiralizer with ⅛ inch spacing blade to create zoodles. Use kitchen scissors to cut them into 10-12 inch pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place zoodles in a colander over the sink to allow them to drain while preparing next step.
  • Chop chicken into bite sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the bite sized chicken pieces and cook through, about 5-6 minutes, tossing as needed. Add the honey lemon sauce and stir to coat the chicken. Turn up the heat to bring sauce to a boil. Once sauce begins to boil, turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Use paper towels to squeeze out any extra moisture from the zoodles.
  • Place one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the zoodles. Use pasta tongs to toss the zoodles occasionally while cooking for 5-6 minutes, until al dente. Turn off the heat.
  • Serve lemon chicken over a bed of zoodles. Be sure to spoon on extra sauce to allow the zoodles to soak up the flavor. Sprinkle on toasted sesame seeds and serve.
