Ingredients

  • 2 yellow squash
  • 1 lb chicken breast , sliced thin

LOW CARB LO MEIN MARINADE

  • 2 tbsp dry sherry
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos , or low sodium gluten free soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger , grated

LOW CARB LO MEIN STIR FRY

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 green bell pepper , sliced thin
  • 4 green onions , sliced
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes , optional

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
  2. Marinate the chicken in dry sherry, coconut aminos, garlic, and ginger for 30 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is marinating slice the green bell pepper and green onions as directed
  4. Using a julienne peeler or spiralizer, prepare the yellow squash into noodles. 
  5. Microwave the zucchini noodles in a covered dish for up to one minute until they are just barely cooked. Then place on a paper towel and pat dry to remove excess liquid.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot, then drain the chicken from the marinade (reserve marinade) and add to the pan and let it cook for about 4 minutes per side, then remove from the pan.
  7. Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil, then the green bell pepper slices, and cook them for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  8. Pour in the remaining marinade and cook it for a further 1-2 minutes over a medium heat then add back the chicken, zucchini noodles,  green onions and finally the sesame oil and stir it all really well to mix the flavors. 
  9. Serve immediately while hot from the skillet, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired. 

Recipe Notes

Storage - While you can reheat this recipe, I think it's best served right away as the 'zoodles' tend to get soggy when they are left sitting for a while. However, if you don't mind that it will keep for three or four days in the fridge. 
Substitutions - you can sub the yellow squash for a green zucchini instead, and if you don't use alcohol you can omit the sherry but it may negatively  affect the flavor of the recipe. 
Carb Count - soy sauce usually has less carbs than coconut aminos, and the carbs can vary quite a bit between coconut amino brands. I prefer to use coconut aminos as it's milder and naturally sweeter even though it adds a few more carbs.
