Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast tenderloins, cut into chunks (or pre-cooked plain grilled chicken)
  • Pure sesame oil, to taste
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 1/2 cup white mushrooms, chopped
  • ½ bag of frozen peppers and onions, thawed
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Egg Beaters or egg substitute
  • 8oz zucchini noodles (I got mine from Wegmans, but any local grocery store or Whole Foods should have them)
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (make sure it’s certified gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp green curry paste
  • Chopped peanuts for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine spices, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and curry paste. Set aside.
  2. Drizzle sesame oil in a large frying pan and turn heat to medium. Place chicken in the pan and cook until well done. Remove cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Using another drizzle of sesame oil, cook egg beaters in pan. Remove when finished and set aside with the chicken.
  4. With another few teaspoons of sesame oil, cook the garlic, mushrooms, peppers & onions, and carrots until soft. Add chicken and egg back to the pan, stir to combine.
  5. Add zucchini noodles and cook until they begin to soften. Add the sauce mixture, stir together, and cook for 3-5 more minutes.
  6. Serve hot and sprinkle peanuts on top, if desired.
