Asian Chicken

INGREDIENTS

For the Chicken:

•   1 lb boneless skinless organic chicken breast

•   1/4 cup coconut aminos

•   2 tbsp organic raw honey melted

•   1 inch knob fresh ginger, grated

•   3 cloves of garlic, crushed

•   1 tsp red pepper flakes

Non-Noodles:

•   3 medium zucchini. To make the noodle shape, I use a julienne peeler. You can find these at the regular grocery store. But if you don’t have one, just use a vegetable peeler. Your noodles will be thicker like fettuccine, but they will still be great.

•   1 onion, thinly sliced

•   1 bell pepper, any color, julienned

•   2 cloves of garlic, minced

•   1 inch knob of ginger, minced

•   1/4 cup coconut aminos

•   1/4 cup tahini (if you don’t have tahini, just use pure almond butter )

•   juice of 1 lime

•   2 tbsp honey, melted

•   Cilantro to garnish

DIRECTIONS

For the Chicken:

•   Throw the chicken along with the coconut aminos, honey, ginger, garlic and rep pepper flake in a dish and massage it into the chicken. Refrigerate and marinate for at least one hour but overnight is great.

•   Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook about 5 minutes per side if you’re using thighs.

•   When the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set it aside to let it rest while you cook your non-Noodles.

Noodles:

•   In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, add a bit more coconut oil if needed and heat it over medium-high heat. Throw your bell pepper and onion into the pan and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.

•   Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, and saute another 2 minutes, until fragrant.

•   Add the zucchini to the pan and saute another 1-2 minutes.

•   In the meantime, in a large mixing bowl combine coconut aminos, tahini, lime juice and honey. Whisk to combine.

•   When you have saute’d the vegetables, remove from the pan and place into the mixing bowl with the sesame sauce. Toss to coat.

•   Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve. Enjoy!
