Zucchini Pad Thai

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp. Schnucks minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp. Schnucks honey
  • 3 tbsp. Schnucks less-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 lbs.), cut into 3-inch slices
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 4 tbsp. Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp. Schnucks cornstarch
  • 4 tbsp. Schnucks vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 Schnucks eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1 (14 oz.) pkg. extra-firm tofu, drained and cut into 1/4x11/4-inch stick
  • 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together garlic, lime juice, honey and soy sauce until combined. Add chicken and, if desired, season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together water, chili sauce and cornstarch.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-low. Add eggs and gently scramble with a spatula until cooked through, 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cover to keep warm.
  4. Add remaining oil to skillet and heat over medium-high. Discarding marinade, add chicken; cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauce and tofu; cook until sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add zucchini and toss to coat; cook until zucchini is tender, about 2 minutes. Add scrambled eggs and, if desired, season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with green onion and peanuts.
Protein Flex

Hold the chicken and instead use two 15.5-oz. cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas) or 2 1/2 lbs. of raw shrimp in Step 1.

Life Hack

No spiralizer? Use a peeler or the large holes on a box grater.
