Instructions

1. Start by preparing your zoodles. Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, turn the zucchini into noodles. Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. Mix until well combined.
3. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
4. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook until they’re browned on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Pour the teriyaki mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
7. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes or until fully cooked through.
8. Once the chicken is done, add your zoodles to the skillet.
9. Toss everything together, ensuring the zoodles are well-coated with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes – you want the zoodles to be slightly tender but not overly soft.
10. Once everything is well combined and cooked, remove from heat.

Tips

1. For added crunch, you can throw in some bell peppers or snap peas.
2. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding some red chili flakes or sriracha to the teriyaki mix.
3. If zoodles aren’t your thing, this Teriyaki Chicken recipe works equally well with rice or quinoa.
4. Always taste and adjust the seasoning as per your preference before serving.
