kung pao chicken

This is a spicy recipe with a kick but I've substituted noodles for zoodles (Zucchini) in order to reduce the calories. It's quick and full of flavour.

Ingredients:
3 to 4 chicken breasts
2 zucchinis - spiralized into noodles
6 stalks of green onions
2 red peppers chopped lengthwise
