Kung Pao Chicken Zoodles For Two – I swapped the noodles with zucchini noodles and the results were fantastic!! (under 300 calories).

Each bowl is filled with chicken and vegetables and the sauce has the flavor combination of of salty, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. Topped with crushed peanuts – it’s pretty hard to pass this up!

If you’re spiralizer has more than one spiral blade, use the thicker setting to replicate a thicker noodle feel. I tested out the Spirooli Spiral Slicer from Bed Bath and Beyond for this and it worked fine, but this spiralizer (affiliate link) is still my favorite.

How To Make Kung Pao Zucchini Noodles

A few tips on how to make perfect spiralized zucchini noodles for this dish:

Trim your noodles to about 6 inches long so it’s easy to eat.

Since zucchini releases a lot of water as it cooks, I used it to my advantage and purposely left the sauce a little thick.

Don’t overcook your zucchini, I cook them for just under 2 minutes.

Once the noodles cook and release their liquid, it thins the sauce and works out perfect.

Once cooked, quickly remove it from the pan so it doesn’t continue cooking.

This is such a quick meal – you can easily halve this to make it for one, but if you want to make this for four, I would prep everything and cook it twice rather than doubling it and cooking it all at the same time so the chicken browns, and the noodles fit in the wok.
