• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced

• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini, carrot, and cucumber using a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create noodle-like shapes.
2. In a pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat and add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3. Add the chicken breast to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a simmer. Add coconut aminos, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Once the broth is simmering, add the spiralized vegetables to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crunchy.
