Zucchini Noodles Recipe With Chicken
We mostly eat wheat noodles but if you like change like I do, you will definitely love this zucchini noodles recipe.I will be serving with chicken though there are many ways of doing this. Zucchini noodles is an easy recipe to make, together with the chicken it will take 30 minutes. This recipe serves 2.
The ingredients include:
2 large Zucchinis
1/2 pound chicken
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tbsp salt
How do you make zucchini noodles
Begin by washing the zucchinis in running water, cut both edges of the zucchini and throw in compost as you will not need them. Use veggette to cut the the zucchinis into spirals or julienne style, for this recipe I did spirals.
Steamed zucchini noodles
Add two cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil. Throw in a pinch of salt. Use tongs and carefully add in the zucchinis in the pot, you could use your hands too but be careful the boiling water could splash on you.Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles are soft and not soggy. Turn off the heat and drain the water.
Stir fried zucchini noodles
On a medium to high heated pan add in a table spoon of cooking oil. Throw in the zucchini noodles and season with garlic salt. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn as often as possible to avoid sticking on pan.
Baked Zucchini noodles
Dry the zucchini noodles with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth. Place the noodles on a baking sheet and season with salt. Add in a pinch of Chinese 5 spices. Bake at 450 degrees fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
As mentioned earlier, I will serve the noodles with chicken. Cut the chicken into thin slices and marinate with dark dark and light soy sauce for 10 minutes or more. Place a wide pan on medium heated oven and add the chicken. Spread the chicken on the pan to avoid stewing. Resist the urge turn the chicken before its brown on the bottom side. This should take 5 minutes if the pan was hot enough.Flip and cook the bottom side until the chicken is fully cooked. Internal temperature of cooked chicken is 165 degrees.
Finally plate the food. in a bowl add in the stir fried chicken, then the zoodles then pour the homemade tomato sauce on top. Bon appetite.
