Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 medium Bell pepper (red, sliced)
• 1 medium Zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
• 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (or avocado oil)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken breast. Slice it into thin bite-sized strips for quick cooking. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash and chop the vegetables: cut broccoli into small florets, slice the bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Whisk until combined.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to release its aroma.

Step 8

Add the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and tender-crisp.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 10

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of sesame oil or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
