- Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 8 ounces, weight Chicken Breast, Cut Into Cubes
- 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, Minced
- 1 cup Asparagus, Cut Into Small Spears
- 23 cups Snap Peas, Halved
- 1/2 Large Red Pepper, Thinly Sliced

- 1/2 cups Fresh Mandarin Orange Segments
- Sliced Fresh Basil, For Garnish
- Place the spiralized zucchini into a colander set over a large bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Let sit, stirring occasionally, so that the zucchini releases some of its water.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add in the chicken breast and fresh ginger.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and in asparagus, peas and red pepper.
- Cook until the veggies are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Add orange juice, almond butter, Dijon mustard, honey and a good pinch of salt and pepper into the pan and stir until the almond butter is smooth and melted.
- Turn the heat up to medium high and boil, uncovered, until the sauce reduces by half and is very thick and creamy, about 810 minutes.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini noodles and divide between bowls.
- Divide the veggie/chicken mixture on top, followed by the spiralized radishes and oranges.
- Garnish with sliced basil, adjust salt and pepper to taste and devour.
- Note: If you leave the honey off for the Whole30 option, you may need to squeeze a little more fresh orange juice over the stir fry/zucchini noodles once its plated, if you want a little more sweetness.
