Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the ingredients. Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into small florets, the bell pepper into thin strips, the zucchini into half moons, and slice the carrot into thin rounds. Chop the green onions finely, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the sesame oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the soy sauce and red pepper flakes, and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the stir-fry just before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb savory stir-fry!
