I am very late in the zucchini noodles or “zoodles” game, but it’s better be late than never.
I actually bought a spiralizer years ago but I never got to using it.
Recently, as I was cleaning up my cabinet, I saw the spiralizer and I had a couple of zucchinis in the fridge, so I made this honey sriracha chicken zucchini noodles.
Other Recipes You Might Like
Unlike most zoodles recipes you will find online, I didn’t cook my zucchini noodles.
I personally love fresh zucchini and think that cooking the zoodles will just kill the texture, so don’t cook your zoodles, they are really amazing and just perfect.
All you need is adding some protein such as chicken or shrimp as toppings, toss them together, and you will have a delightful meal.
I made some savory and spicy honey sriracha chicken stir-fry to pair with the zoodles.
The dish takes only 15 minutes to make and absolutely amazing.
Every bite is scrumptious, with the chicken and zoodles…so healthy and wholesome.
Please bear in mind that there is a lot of liquid in the zucchini noodles, so you have to finish the meal fast.
Do not let them sit too long or the water will seep out from the zoodles and dilute the taste of the dish.
Add the chicken on top of the zoodles, gently toss them around and enjoy!

Awesome recipe! I’m a fitness trainer and meal prepper so I’m always looking for a way to add variety to my meals. Cut the sriracha in half because I only like a little spice, added tricolor peppers and grape tomatoes quartered. It was delish…thank you!
Lovely! I doubled the sauce (it was that good) and added some shaoxing, rice vinegar and chili flakes. Also added some vegetables (sugar snap peas, shitake mushrooms) A brilliant quick weeknight dinner!

I have tried this recipe and it is amazing, I would love to meal prep this and was wondering how many days this is good for.
This is not great for meal prep as the zucchini noodles will not be good being frozen.
Great recipe! Very delicious! I served mine over cauliflower rice!
Hi Debbie, awesome I am happy that you love my honey sriracha chicken zucchini noodles recipe.
Just made this with leftover chicken breast. I give it 5/5. So spicy and delicious! Next time I may add a little cabbage too for more crunch. Excellent use of zoodles & leftover chicken. Will make this again! Thank you for sharing!

I had never tried Zoodles till the other day, I love my pasta, believe that, but I am trying to do the Keto lifestyle. I will say I sauteed them, my bf and I were shocked how good they actually were, we were like who knew. I am gonna try this recipe as I miss my Asian food, but Zoodles made however are quite delicious and so healthy!
Hi Camie, so glad to hear that you will be trying this honey sriracha chicken zucchini zoodles recipe.
I made this for dinner tonight! We loved it. I added pea pods and string carrots. I also doubled the sauce, just in case it wasn’t enough withy additional vegetables. What a great easy, quick dinner. Thank you for the recipe ?
Hi Patty, thanks so much for trying my honey sriracha chicken zucchini zoodles recipe.
Hey quick question. I made this recipe and it was overall pretty good. I did notice that mine had a pretty strong bitter after taste- any ideas what I did wrong? I did add some yellow onion but other than that didn’t change anything.
I think it might be your zucchini…some have a little bitter taste.
