Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and 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 on the outside and fully cooked through.
- Add Vegetables: Add the minced garlic and sliced zucchini to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, 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 chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Season and Serve: Taste the stir fry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles to complete the meal.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for variation.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
- This recipe pairs well with jasmine rice or rice noodles.
- Make sure to slice the chicken and zucchini evenly for uniform cooking.
