Heat 1 tbsp peanut oil in a large wok over high heat. Stir-fry half the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Recipe Notes
Tips:
Many people toss away the broccoli stem, but you can eat it too. Make sure it’s finely sliced so it cooks in the same time as the florets.
Instead of buying zucchini noodles, you can make your own if you have a spiraliser. Sweet potato or carrot noodles would work too. Just increase the cooking time slightly until tender.
