Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium bell pepper (any color)
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger (fresh, grated)
• 2 green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Chop the broccoli florets, bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Return the chicken to the skillet. Drizzle in the low-sodium soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing everything to coat evenly.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the stir-fry for a little heat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy your healthy, low-carb stir-fry chicken!
