Step 1

Using spiralizer, cut zucchini into 1/8 inch thick noodles, then cut noodles into 2 inch lengths; set aside. You should have 1 lb of zucchini noodles after spiralizing; reserve extra noodles for another use

Step 2

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Heat 2 tbsps oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown chicken on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes; transfer to plate

Step 3

Stir broth, onion, carrots, thyme, salt and pepper into fat left in pot, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pot and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until chicken registers 165 degrees F, around 10 minutes

Omit carrots and thyme. Before adding broth in step 3, add 1 1/2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin to fat left in pot; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Substitute cilantro for parsley and top individual portions with 2 ounces thinly sliced radishes before serving.

Omit thyme, salt, and pepper. Before adding broth in step 3, add 1 tablespoon white miso and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to fat left in pot; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
