Instructions

Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the garlic: Pour in another tablespoon of olive oil into the same pan and heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetables: Toss in the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
Whisk the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until blended.
Combine with chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, pour the sauce over, and stir everything to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Cook the zucchini noodles: In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Quickly sauté the spiralized zucchini noodles for about 2 minutes until tender.
Toss everything together: Combine the zucchini noodles with the chicken and vegetables in the large pan.
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
