Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Lay the chicken thighs down on a cutting board and trim any of the excess yellow/white fat. Place the trimmed chicken into a large bowl.
Toss the chicken thighs in oil and the seasoning blend. Toss until they are evenly covered.
Place the chicken flat on the lined baking sheet, spaced evenly. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack and bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then thinly slice and set aside.
Prepping the Vegetables
If you didn't purchase premade zucchini noodles, begin by removing the ends from the zucchini and spiralizing.
Peel the carrots, cut in half and julienne them. It is helpful to use a mandolin, however, this can be done by hand by cutting the carrots into thin strips. The thinner the better they will cook in the hot water.
Remove both ends from the celery stalks and thinly slice.
Cut the bell pepper, removing the stem and core, and slice into thin strips.
Preparing the Noodle Jars
Line up 4 open 16-oz jars on a table or working surface.
Begin by adding the ingredients listed under "soup base" to the bottom of each jar. Note that the "soup base" ingredients are listed in quantities per jar. Each jar should have 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon, 2 tsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil, ½ tsp sesame seeds, ¼ tsp dried parsley, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, and ⅛ tsp ground ginger.
Top the "soup base" with about ½ cup of zucchini noodles.
Divide the other prepared veggies between the four jars.
Add about 4 ounces or ½ of a large cooked and sliced chicken thigh to each jar.
Seal the jars with the lids and store them in the fridge until ready to eat. Consume within 3-4 days of cooking the chicken.
To Heat
To cook the prepared noodle jars, simply fill the jars to the bottom portion of the lip with boiling water (make sure it is boiling and not just hot). Replace the lid and let sit for about 5 minutes, remove the lid, stir well and enjoy.
You can also heat it in the microwave if you want the soup hotter or the veggies cooked more. Simply fill the jar with water and microwave for about 3-5 minutes (time will vary based on the microwave). Be sure to remove the metal lid if using the microwave and handle carefully when removing the jar as it will be hot.
