A quick and flavorful one-pan stir fry featuring tender chicken, crisp zucchini, and a savory soy-garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, thin strips (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin for sweeter)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or 1 tsp sriracha (to taste)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (slurry)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola, avocado, or peanut)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. Prep the chicken and veggies. Pat the chicken dry and slice thin. Cut zucchini and bell pepper. Mince garlic and ginger. Slice green onions.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
  4. Add the chicken in a single layer. Cook 3–4 minutes, stirring once or twice, until just cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Toss in zucchini and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce. Stir over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats everything and the chicken is hot.
  7. Remove from heat. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds. Taste and adjust salt, heat, or sweetness. Serve right away over rice or noodles.
