Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce & Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.
- Add Vegetables: Add the minced garlic and sliced zucchini to the skillet with the chicken. Stir-fry together for 3-4 minutes until the zucchini becomes tender but still crisp.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes if using. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients evenly.
- Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the chicken zucchini stir fry hot, ideally over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add fresh chili slices.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for juicier meat.
- Serve with steamed jasmine or basmati rice, or noodles for a heartier meal.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
