Make this fast and easy chicken and zucchini stir fry in one skillet for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the zucchini slices to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the zucchini. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken and zucchini. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. 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.
