Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cups zucchini noodles
  • 2 cups kale
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 lb chicken breast into thin strips. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, add 2 cups broccoli florets and 2 tbsp water. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Uncover and add 2 cups kale, cooking until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp soy sauce with remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 4 cups zucchini noodles to the skillet with the vegetables, pour dressing over, and toss for 1-2 minutes until noodles are just warmed.

  4. 4

    Return chicken to the skillet, toss everything together. Divide into bowls and top with peanuts and fresh herbs if you have them.
