Chicken Zucchini Stir Fry Recipe


Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the vegetables: Add zucchini, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Combine ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.

Optional Additions:

  • For extra flavor: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lime juice.
  • For a richer texture: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter to the sauce.
  • For a healthier option: Use low-sodium soy sauce and brown rice.
