  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
– 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
– 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
– 1 small onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
– Green onions, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating the Quick Chicken Zucchini Stir Fry is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Slice the chicken, zucchinis, bell pepper, and onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
2. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. Add Zucchini: Add the sliced zucchini and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
7. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining soy sauce and stir well to combine everything.
8. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute until thickened.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if needed.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
