Chicken Zoodle "Lo Mein" For Two

Tender strips of chicken breast mingle with crisp bok choy, earthy shiitake mushrooms, and sweet carrots, all twirled through zucchini noodles slicked in a glossy sauce of soy, oyster, and rice wine. Each bite tastes savory and light, with vegetables that stay bright and just tender.
