Method
- Using a spiralizer or mandoline, make (or buy) zucchini noodles, transfer into a large bowl and set aside. You can also chop zucchini into any size pieces if you don't have the gadgets.
- Preheat a large ceramic non-stick skillet on high heat and add chicken. Saute until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add cumin, 1/2 tsp salt and ground black pepper towards the end, stir and cook for another minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe clean or wash and pat dry the skillet and return to the stove on high heat. Spray with cooking spray and add zucchini noodles. Saute for 1.5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and add the cooked chicken, remaining salt, hot peppers, lime juice and cilantro. Stir gently and serve hot.
