Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• Carrot - 1 medium
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium
• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut aminos - 3 tablespoons
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini and carrot using a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create noodle-like strands.
2. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken breast to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
5. In the same skillet, add the remaining sesame oil, spiralized zucchini, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
