- 2 carrots, sliced into matchsticks

Steps
- Cut zucchini into noodles - this can be done by hand, using a spiralizer, vegetable peeler, or mandolin.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon. sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook until well-browned, about 4-6 minutes per side. Allow to cool and then dice into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce until combined. Set aside.
- Add the ginger, red and yellow peppers, carrots, garlic, and yellow onion, and cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add zucchini noodles and chicken back to the pan. Add the sauce and pour over noodles, tossing to make sure everything is coated.
- Cook until sauce thickens and zucchini noodles are just tender, about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
