Honey Sriracha Chicken Zoodle Bowls
*Caution, affiliate links ahead…Don’t worry, I’ll use the money for something practical, like wine…. or a pony!
I don’t know if it’s because of my resolution to eat better in the new year, or what, but I’ve become obssesed with zoodles. I mean I always liked them, but lately it seems like my body is craving them. I’ve been spending more time than I should be surfing Pinterest trying to come with new ideas on how to eat them. They are just so freaking good and the fact that they are low carb, gluten free and healthy is just the proverbial cherry on the cake.
So far my favorite zoodle recipes have been these one skillet garlic parmesan zoodles, this ridiculously good spicy asian chicken zoodle soup & this divine Honey Sriracha Chicken Zoodle Bowl.
To say that this dish is good is a massive understatement. This is sweet, spicy and savory all wrapped into one scrumptious recipe. This is the kind of recipe that people write songs about….okay, not really but they should and if I had any musical skills I would totally write “An ode to a zoodle bowl”.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, this is a recipe that you need to try. Like now.
