  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing.

Preparation
  1. Grab a large skillet and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add in the sliced chicken and season it generously with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and the sliced bell pepper, sautéing them together for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the zucchini and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender but still a little crisp.
  5. Drizzle soy sauce over everything, tossing gently to combine all flavors.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic prior to cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months.
