Servings:

Sriracha Zoodle Salad:

Honey - 2 tsp
Bragg's / coconut aminos - 3 Tbsp
Vinegar, rice - 3 Tbsp
Oil, toasted sesame - 1 Tbsp
Oil, cooking - 6 Tbsp
Sriracha - 1 tsp (sub any hot sauce)
Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless - 1 lb
Carrots - 6 oz , shredded (look for pre-shredded)
Green beans, fresh or frozen - 10 oz , chopped into bite-sized pieces
Zucchini - 12 oz , spiralized
Green onions - 2 stalks , chopped, white and green parts combined
Lime juice - 2 tsp

Prep

Make marinade - Whisk together honey, aminos, vinegar, toasted sesame oil, cooking oil, and Sriracha.
Chicken - Halve chicken and cover in half the marinade. Tenderize with a fork. Marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)
Carrots / Green beans - Prep as directed. If using frozen green beans, defrost. If using fresh green beans, place green beans in a microwave-safe container, cover with a wet paper towel, and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Zucchini - Turn zucchini into 'noodles' with a spiralizer.
Cook zucchini noodles - Place a microwave-safe colander into a large bowl (or really, just use your salad spinner without the top). Add in spiralized noodles and microwave 1 minute at a time for 3 to 4 minutes, until they reach a tender but crunchy consistency. If any liquids release during cooking, they'll drain out of the colander into the bowl so the noodles don't become soggy. Use scissors to snip up noodles into more bite-sized pieces.
Green onions - Chop green onions. Combine green and white parts. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Make

Discard marinade and season chicken with some salt and pepper.
If making chicken on the grill: Preheat grill to 500 degrees, keeping one part on higher heat and another part on lower heat. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Add chicken to higher heat. Sear on each side for ~3 minutes (keeping cover closed). Move to lower heat and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through) with cover closed.
If making chicken on the stovetop: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil. Add chicken to hot grill pan and sear for ~3 minutes on both sides. Lower heat and then cover with a lid or foil, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Toss second half of marinade with zucchini noodles, carrots, green beans, green onions (green and white parts), and chopped chicken. Finish with lime juice. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Add some more Sriracha if you'd like.
