Preparation
1
Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh garlic and ginger, mince them finely. Spiralize the zucchini into 'zoodles'.
2
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the light cream cheese, low sodium soy sauce, natural peanut butter, lime juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach desired consistency.
4
Add the zoodles to the same pan (no need to clean it). Sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until they are slightly tender but still have a bite. Avoid overcooking, as they can become watery.
5
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the zoodles. Pour the sauce over everything and toss gently to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is heated through and coats the chicken and zoodles evenly.
6
Serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, if desired.
