Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the chicken strips, and marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the zucchini into half-moons.

Step 4

Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and finely chop the green onions.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil followed by the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the stir-fry with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes for added flavor.

Step 11

Serve the low-carb chicken stir-fry hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
