Method
Cut the zucchini into long spaghetti-like ribbons with a peeler or spiralizer and the carrots into matchsticks; cut the chicken breast into thin strips and mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and brown the chicken for 7 minutes, stirring, until cooked through; add the garlic, ginger and a pinch of dried chili for the last minute.
Whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, lime juice and a splash of hot water into a pourable sauce.
Add the carrots for 2 minutes, then the zucchini noodles for 2 more minutes, pour in the sauce and toss for 1 minute, without letting the zucchini turn soft.
Scatter the chopped cilantro and sesame seeds over the top and serve right away.
