Ingredients
  

  • Chicken breasts 2 (about 400 grams in total)
  • Zucchini 2 large (about 500 grams)
  • Teriyaki sauce 1/2 cup (120ml)
  • Honey 2 tablespoons (30ml)
  • Fresh ginger 1 tablespoon (grated)
  • Garlic cloves 2 (minced)
  • Sesame oil 2 tablespoons (30ml)
  • Soy sauce 1 tablespoon (15ml)
  • Spring onions 2 (sliced)
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  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.

Notes

TIPS:
For added crunch, you can throw in some bell peppers or snap peas. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding some red chili flakes or sriracha to the teriyaki mix. If zoodles aren’t your thing, this Teriyaki Chicken recipe works equally well with rice or quinoa. Always taste and adjust the seasoning as per your preference before serving.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
Serve your Teriyaki Chicken Zoodle Bowl hot, garnished with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. If you’re feeling fancy, accompany your bowl with a side of steamed broccoli or a light cucumber salad. Don’t forget to savor every bite of this wholesome meal!
