Thai Chicken Zucchini Noodles with Peanut Sauce

I am in LOVE with Thai food.  The flavors are just so gooooood to me.  But every time we order carry-out, I am left with a rock at the bottom of my stomach.  It is always too greasy and too carb-y and just unhealthy.  So I found this recipe on Joyful Healthy Eats and I had to share.  This looks soooooooo good and will leave me feeling satisfied instead of sick.
