- Place the zucchini noodles on a baking tray and cook in a convection toaster (or oven) on 450F for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Then set aside. *You can also cook them in a skillet on the stovetop or steam them, but I have found that convection baking the noodles turns out perfect results every time and eliminates excess water! Be sure to drain excess water from the noodles after cooking!
- In a large bowl add the chopped ingredients, chicken, noodles, and sauce. Toss together and top with cashews, sesame seeds, more cilantro, etc...
