Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari
- 2 tbsp fresh lemongrass finely minced (white part only)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil plus more for broiling
- 2 tsp smoked paprika for smoky flavor
- 4 cup spiralized zucchini noodles or 1 large zucchini per serving
- 1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
Notes
Storage: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, store the chicken and noodles separately and assemble just before serving. Make-Ahead: Marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. You can also spiralize the zucchini noodles ahead of time and store them in a paper towel-lined container. Substitutions: Use chicken breast instead of thighs for a leaner option. For a different vegetable noodle, try spiralized sweet potato or carrot. Serving Suggestions: Add a side of sliced avocado or a drizzle of paleo-friendly sriracha for extra creaminess and heat. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
