Instructions
Creating this Quick Chicken Zucchini Stir Fry is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and slice the chicken, zucchinis, bell pepper, and broccoli.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Incorporate Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and stir for about 30 seconds, allowing it to release its aroma.
6. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and cornstarch (for a thicker sauce). Add a splash of water if desired.
7. Combine Everything: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly.
8. Serve: Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat. Serve over cooked rice or noodles.
