Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 1 medium bell pepper (any color)
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 small onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 spray cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion into small cubes. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. This will be your sauce.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is heated, add the diced chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is evenly coated.

Step 9

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Serve hot on its own or over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
