Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into thin pieces and prepare the vegetables by slicing the zucchinis and red bell pepper (if using). Mince the garlic. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil.
