Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier bite.)
  • to taste Salt and black pepper (Season to perfection for enhanced flavor.)
  • 3 medium Zucchini (Use a vegetable peeler if you don't have a spiralizer.)
  • 1 piece Red bell pepper (Sliced, any bell pepper works as a substitute.)
  • 1 cup Carrots (Julienned, can swap with snap peas for variety.)
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil (Essential for sautéing, avocado oil is a great alternative.)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (Minced, essential for the signature taste.)
  • 1/4 cup Low sodium soy sauce (Opt for gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos if needed.)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey (Adds sweetness, agave syrup works for a vegan twist.)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (Substitute with apple cider vinegar if preferred.)
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger (Grated, enhances warmth and flavor.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (Adjust to personal spice preference.)
  • 2 tablespoons Green onions (Chopped, brightens up the dish.)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (Adds crunch and visual appeal.)
