Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
Vegetables
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasonings
- 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 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 softens but still retains some crunch.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the 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 and adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper as desired. Serve the stir fry hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete, satisfying meal.

- Adjust red pepper flakes to taste or omit if you prefer no spice.
- Can add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
- Serve immediately to maintain the zucchini’s crisp texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
