- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 cup water
- Black pepper to taste
- Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and water in a small bowl. If you want a thicker sauce, whisk in the cornstarch now. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Add the zucchini slices to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the zucchini. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and zucchini. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
- Season with black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
- Serve this stir fry over cauliflower rice or enjoy it as is for a low-carb meal.
- If you prefer more vegetables, add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms or bell peppers with the zucchini.
