Description

This healthy chicken stir fry has spring vegetables and a creamy, bright orange almond and Dijon sauce. Serve it over zucchini noodles for a Whole30 compliant, easy weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

  • 2  Large Zucchinis, Spiralized With The 3mm Blade
  • Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 8 ounces, weight Chicken Breast, Cut Into Cubes
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Ginger, Minced
  • 1 cup Asparagus, Cut Into Small Spears
  • ⅔ cups Snap Peas, Halved
  • ½  Large Red Pepper, Thinly Sliced
  • ¾ cups Orange Juice, Not From Concentrate
  • 2 Tablespoons Natural Almond Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard (make Sure It Doesn't Have Wine For Whole30 Option)
  • ½ teaspoons Honey (Omit For Whole30 Option)
  • Pepper
  • A Small Bunch Of Radishes, Spiralized With The 3mm Blade
  • ½ cups Fresh Mandarin Orange Segments
  • Sliced Fresh Basil, For Garnish

Preparation

Place the spiralized zucchini into a colander set over a large bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit, stirring occasionally, so that the zucchini releases some of its water.

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add in the chicken breast and fresh ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and in asparagus, peas and red pepper. Cook until the veggies are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.

Add orange juice, almond butter, Dijon mustard, honey and a good pinch of salt and pepper into the pan and stir until the almond butter is smooth and melted. Turn the heat up to medium high and boil, uncovered, until the sauce reduces by half and is very thick and creamy, about 8–10 minutes.

Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini noodles and divide between bowls. Divide the veggie/chicken mixture on top, followed by the spiralized radishes and oranges. Garnish with sliced basil, adjust salt and pepper to taste and devour.

Note: If you leave the honey off for the Whole30 option, you may need to squeeze a little more fresh orange juice over the stir fry/zucchini noodles once it’s plated, if you want a little more sweetness.
