Description
A cozy and delicious Chicken Zucchini Stir Fry packed with flavor and seasonal ingredients, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow for sweetness)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Start by washing and slicing all your vegetables and chicken.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and stir-fry until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add vegetables: Once the chicken is done, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
- Finish with zucchini: Finally, add the sliced zucchini and soy sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is well combined and the zucchini is just tender.
- Serve: Remove the stir fry from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
Ensure chicken and vegetables are sliced evenly for uniform cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Marinate chicken for extra flavor if desired.
