Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Trim and slice the zucchini into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water. Stir well to create the stir-fry sauce and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan and reduce heat to medium.
Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and pour in the stir-fry sauce.
Cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and zucchini.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
