Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 medium bell peppers, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 large zucchini, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the sliced chicken into a resealable bag or bowl, pour in the marinade, and toss to coat. Set aside for at least 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken to the hot oil and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, 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 bell peppers, broccoli florets, zucchini slices, and julienned carrot. Stir fry for about 4-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables, and add the sliced green onions and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Continue to stir fry for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 10

Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds just before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb chicken and vegetable stir fry.
