These Thai Green Curry Chicken Vegetable Zucchini Noodles are super easy to make, full of flavor, and healthy! They are a simple easy weeknight meal and a great low carb alternative to curry noodles!
Why is all Thai food SO good?! So much flavor. I’m all about healthy meals lately, and that doesn’t mean boring, whatsoever. I need lots and lots of flavor in my food, and these zoodles fit the bill. Ginger, green curry paste, garlic, coconut milk, Thai basil, cilantro..so many good things!
Another awesome thing about this dish is that it’s made in one pan! Because who wants to be doing tons of dishes after a long work day (or any day for that matter)? Not I.
So many veggies in here. You could definitely serve this over rice and either keep the zucchini noodles for extra veggies, or nix them altogether. I’m such a veggie freak, so the more the better. This would be delish with some nutty brown rice though.
I get in ruts with chicken and healthy meals. I end up just roasting a ton of veggies and making some sort of grilled or marinated chicken to go alongside, but that gets old after awhile. This dish makes the dreaded chicken dinner oh-so-flavorful and fun. I promise!
I used lite coconut milk here, but you could certainly use full-fat for extra creaminess. I’ve used lite and full fat and love them both!
This meal is much needed after consuming all the things in NYC this weekend. So much fun though. I visited my best friend and we pretty much ate our way through NYC. Had two amazing brunches, lots of cookies, matcha lattes, tacos, chips and guac, pomme frites, crispy bacon brussels, New York pizza of course, and lots of other delicious things. And I mean lots.
Needless to say..these zoodles are coming in handy this week!

Looks delicious….want to make this week cuz I have the zuchinni and chicken and didn’t know what to do with it. Where do you get green curry paste?

Yay! I get the green curry paste in the international aisle. Pretty much all grocery stores have it but I got it at Whole Foods. I use the Thai Kitchen brand. Let me know if you try it!

Whole family loved this. Seeded and chopped a jalapeño in for extra spice. Better than what I’ve had at restaurants – thanks for the recipe,
