Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and zucchini, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Serve immediately.
