Try a low-carb twist on pad thai by using shredded spaghetti squash instead of rice noodles.
Ingredients:
  • 1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 (12 ounce) package broccoli coleslaw mix
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 0.5 cup sliced green onions
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cubed cooked chicken breasts
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and gently lay the spaghetti squash, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the squash in the preheated oven until tender, for 30 to 45 minutes. Shred the cooked squash with a fork, discarding the peel.
  • In a saucepan, mix chicken broth, peanut butter, chile-garlic sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper, then bring to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk water and cornstarch until smooth and add to the sauce. Boil until the sauce thickens for about 5 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute broccoli slaw, zucchini, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, and spaghetti squash in olive oil until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken and sauce; cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
