Preparation

First, lightly steam julienned zucchini to crisp tender. Keep warm in a covered dish.
Next, cut chicken breast into 1/4 inch strips. Set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and 1 teaspoon ginger to pan; sauté 1 minute. Add water. Cover; cook 1 minute until broccoli is crisp-tender. Remove broccoli from pan; keep warm.
Heat remaining oil in pan; add remaining ginger, crushed red pepper, and chicken. Cook 4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, stirring frequently.
Combine broth, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, tamari, arrowroot and garlic in a small bowl, and stir with a whisk.
Add broth mixture to pan with chicken; cook 1 minute or until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Return broccoli mixture to pan; toss to coat. Pour chicken broccoli mixture over zucchini noodles and sprinkle with peanuts.
