Description

How to make Garlic Chicken Zucchini Noodles Stir Fry with tender chicken and crisp zucchini that’s perfect for a quick, healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Main Components:
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Aromatics & Vegetables:
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • Seasonings:
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Garnish & Finishing:
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep Sauce & Chicken: In a bowl, whisk low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, cornstarch, and black pepper. Cut chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. This forms the flavorful base for your Quick & Easy: Garlic Chicken Zucchini Noodles Stir Fry.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Toss chicken with 1 tablespoon of the prepared sauce. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients. This step ensures tender, flavorful chicken for your delicious meal.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced yellow onion. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, avoiding burning the aromatics.
  4. Cook Chicken & Veggies: Add marinated chicken to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add red bell pepper and julienned carrot, stir-frying until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Thicken Sauce: Pour the remaining sauce mixture into the skillet with red pepper flakes (if using). Stir constantly, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat everything beautifully. It should be glossy and bubbling.
  6. Add Zucchini Noodles: Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss quickly for just 1-2 minutes until they are heated through and crisp-tender. Be careful not to overcook them to prevent mushiness.
  7. Garnish & Serve: Remove the Garlic Chicken Zucchini Noodles Stir Fry from heat. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for a bright, zesty finish.

Notes

Avoid overcooking zucchini noodles; a quick toss for 1-2 minutes keeps them crisp-tender.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; reheat gently to maintain texture.

Substitute vegetables like snap peas, broccoli, or mushrooms; ensure similar cuts for even cooking.

Serve hot immediately, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, and a fresh lime wedge for zest.

For extra tender chicken, velvet it with a pinch of baking soda before marinating and cooking.
