Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasoning
- 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 breasts 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 and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the zucchini becomes tender but still retains a slight crunch.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in 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 the hot stir fry over cooked rice or noodles to complete the meal.
Notes
- Use firm zucchinis to avoid sogginess when cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
- Serve immediately to maintain the texture and flavors.
