A quick and nutritious stir fry featuring tender chicken and vibrant zucchini, delivering a satisfying crunch and rich flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger or fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Red pepper flakes for heat (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the sliced zucchini and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. If using cornstarch, sprinkle it in and stir to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything evenly.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately, garnishing with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, if desired.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are cut uniformly for even cooking. Adjust sauce to taste and enjoy with rice or noodles.
