Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 1 each red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 each green bell pepper, sliced
Sauce and Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional red pepper flakes for heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by washing and slicing the zucchini and bell peppers. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set everything aside.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, followed by the zucchini and bell peppers. Stir-fry everything together for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables. If you like it spicy, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes at this stage.
  5. Once everything is heated through and well-mixed, remove the skillet from the heat and serve your delicious Zucchini Stir Fry Chicken hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

To ensure perfect stir-fry, cut the chicken and vegetables uniformly, avoid overcrowding the pan, and use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor.
