Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds, green onions for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing your chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Slice the zucchinis and bell pepper while you mince the garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, seasoning it lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Toss in the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
  4. Pour the soy sauce over the chicken and vegetables, trailing well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

Can substitute zucchinis and bell peppers with other vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or snap peas. To avoid overcooked chicken, ensure even sizing of pieces during cutting. For leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for a month.
