Ingredients

Scale

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thighs), thinly sliced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper (optional), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for richness)
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds and green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Slice chicken and veggies. Mince garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and sesame oil.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and fully cooked (5–6 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the Veggies: Add remaining oil. Sauté zucchini and bell pepper until just tender, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  4. Combine and Sauce: Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss to coat. Cook for 1–2 more minutes, until everything is heated through and well coated.
  5. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or as-is!
