Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked and lightly golden, then set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over everything, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the spiralized zucchini noodles for about 2 minutes until tender but still slightly firm.
Combine the zucchini noodles with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry, tossing everything together and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute chicken with tofu. Keep zucchini noodles firm to avoid mushiness.
