Sesame Teriyaki Chicken Zoodles Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 lbs zucchini

  (or summer squash)
• 2 lbs chicken breasts

  (boneless, skinless)
• ⅔ cup teriyaki sauce

  (see recipe, or use your favorite brand)
• 2 tablespoon sesame seeds

  (optional, more for garnish)
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch

  (optional, mix with an equal amount of cold water)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil

  (split into 2 equal ½ tablespoon portions)

Instructions

• 1 Wash and trim the ends from your 2 lbs zucchini to secure them in your
  spiralizer. Use the zoodle or ribbon blade and spiralize all of the squash,
  transferring the zoodles to a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet as you go.
• 2 Trim and chop the 2 lbs chicken breasts into small bite-sized chunks.
• 3 Combine the ⅔ cup teriyaki sauce as directed, then add 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
  if using. If you're using store bought teriyaki sauce, you'll likely want to add
  the optional 2 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken it.
• 4 Heat a large frying pan, skillet, or wok to medium-high heat with the first ½
  tablespoon portion of 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil. Pan fry the chicken pieces
  until no longer pink inside.
• 5 Pour the combined sauce over the cooked chicken and heat to a low simmer,
  stirring frequently. Once simmering and thickened to your desired consistency,
  remove from heat.
• 6 Heat a large frying pan, skillet, or wok to medium-high heat with the second
  portion of sesame seed oil. Once hot and starting the smoke, add the spiralized
  zoodles. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender, stirring
  infrequently.
• 7 Remove from heat, top the zoodles with your cooked sesame teriyaki chicken
  breasts and serve immediately. Add sliced green onion and sesame seeds for
  garnish, if desired.
