Thai Peanut Zoodles

I've had an obsession with anything Thai Peanut Sauce. I have a recipe prior that is for the salad, this time, I am revving it up with zoodles instead! Zucchini Noodles have become my guilt-free go-to noodle substitute. I've typically used them with my Italian cravings. Zoodles are great tossed with alfredo and tomato sauce. But my low-carb lifestyle calls for some trial and error of experimentation and this one was a SUCCESS!!

What You Need:

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced

• 4 tablespoons peanut butter

• 1 lime, zested and juiced

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cups chicken breast, cooked and shredded (I use rotisserie chicken)

• 3 zucchini, spiral sliced

• 2 large carrots, spiral sliced

• 1 red pepper, think sliced

• 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1/4 cup green onions, diced

• chopped unsalted roasted peanuts and lime wedges

Directions

1. Add the garlic, ginger, peanut butter, lime juice and zest, soy sauce and red pepper flakes to a small bowl and whisk together.

2. To a large frying pan add your olive oil on high heat.

3. Add the zucchini, carrots and bell peppers to the pan and cook until just wilted, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add in the chicken, sauce, cilantro and green onions and toss together until all warmed through.

5. Garnish with sesame seeds and wedges of lime if desired.
