    • 1 tsp [aflink u="http://amzn.to/XdhsnV"]coriander[/aflink]
    • 4 large zucchinis, spiralized into noodles using [aflink u="http://amzn.to/1fOcgf0"]THIS[/aflink] tool

    To Top Skillet

    • Green onions, chopped
    • Cilantro, chopped
    • Mint, chopped
    • Basil, chopped
    • Peanuts (optional)
    • Lime wedges

    Instructions

    1. Place a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Whisk together the nut butter, coconut milk and water until the nut butter melts and it is all fully mixed together into one consistent sauce. Add in the tamari, coconut sugar, and sambal and whisk again until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is a thick yet pour-able consistency. If it is too thick, add a bit more water. If it is too thin, add a bit more nut butter.
    2. Heat up a tablespoon on coconut oil in a cast iron skillet. Once your skillet is hot, add in your chopped up chicken pieces. Spice the chicken liberally with salt, pepper and granulated garlic to taste. Add in the minced ginger and coriander as the chicken cooks. Cook the chicken thoroughly, until it is cooked all the way through and there is no more pink. Once the chicken is cooked, throw your spiralized zucchini noodles into the pan and toss together. The zucchini noodles will soften up rather quickly. I like to cook mine for only a minute or two to maintain some crunch.
    3. Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, add in your peanut sauce and toss again. Top your finished skilled with green onions, cilantro, mint, basil and chopped nuts. Garnish with lime wedges. Any and all toppings are optional. Feel free to make it your own! Enjoy!
