Instructions

Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
Sauté the garlic: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Sauté minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the vegetables: Toss in sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrots, stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Whisk the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Combine with chicken: Return chicken to the pan, pour the sauce over and stir well, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Cook the zucchini noodles: In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and sauté spiralized zucchini noodles for about 2 minutes until tender yet firm.
Toss everything together: Combine zucchini noodles with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry, tossing to coat well.
Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
