Thai Chicken Zoodle Bake

Prep the Oven & Casserole Dish (5 minutes):

1.     Preheat oven to 400°F.

2.     Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with oil and set aside.

3.     Spiralize the zucchinis (or julienne by hand), then pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel to prevent excess moisture during baking.

4.     Spread the zucchini in the bottom of the casserole dish.

Make the Stir-Fry Sauce (2 minutes):

5.     In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, Sriracha, tamari, molasses (or coconut sugar), ground ginger, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of black pepper.

6.     Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more tamari or lime for saltiness or brightness).

Cook the Chicken & Veggies (15 minutes):

7.     Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

8.     Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.

9.     Add diced chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

10.  Add yellow bell pepper, broccoli, and the stir-fry sauce.

11.  Sprinkle in the arrowroot powder and stir well to thicken the sauce slightly, cooking another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are crisp-tender.

Assemble & Bake (25–30 minutes):

12.  Spread the cooked chicken and veggie mixture evenly over the zucchini base in the casserole dish.

13.  In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk, season lightly with salt and pepper.

14.  Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.

15.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and eggs are fully set.

Garnish & Serve:

16.  Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

17.  Top with fresh basil, a squeeze of lime juice, and sesame seeds.

18.  Serve warm and enjoy your cozy, veggie-forward takeout classic made healthier.
