Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large bell pepper, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken: slice the chicken breasts thinly across the grain into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add red pepper flakes if using. Stir well and set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, sliced zucchini, and mushrooms. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine everything and allow the sauce to heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the stir-fry with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve the stir-fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
