Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 4 zucchini, spiralized
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of sliced chicken breast, 4 spiralized zucchini, 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 lime (juiced), 1 chopped onion, 2 minced cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Next, add the sliced chicken breast to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of sriracha and the juice of 1 lime. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Finally, add the spiralized zucchini to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, just until the zoodles are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from heat. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Spicy Sriracha Lime Chicken Zoodle Soup hot, garnished with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Zoodle Perfection: When spiralizing zucchini, choose firm, medium-sized zucchinis for the best texture. Avoid overcooked zoodles by adding them at the last minute to maintain their crisp texture.
- Chicken Prep: Slice chicken breasts against the grain and into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- Spice Control: Adjust the sriracha quantity to match your personal heat tolerance. Start with less and add more to taste.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro when serving.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prep the chicken and chop vegetables in advance to make cooking faster on busy nights.
- Storage: This soup is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat gently to prevent overcooking the zoodles.
