Ingredients

4 cup broccoli, florets
1 medium bell pepper, red
1 stalk green onion
3 medium zucchini
1 pound chicken breast
2 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup cashews

Sauce

3 clove garlic
1 tablespoon ginger root, fresh
1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
2 tablespoon vinegar, rice
2 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon red pepper/chili flakes
2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Chop broccoli and red bell pepper into small pieces. Slice green onions. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Spiralize the zucchini.
Whisk together the sauce (if preparing ahead of time, wait to add the cornstarch until just before cooking): soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch.
Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tablespoons of corn starch in a plastic bag just before cooking.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Saute chicken until most edges are no longer pink. Add broccoli and red bell pepper and stir fry for 5 minutes.
Pour sauce into the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, until everything is cooked and the sauce has thickened a bit.
Carefully add zucchini noodles, mixing in and cooking just a few minutes. Stir in cashews and remove from heat. Garnish with green onions.
