Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece zucchini, halved and sliced
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 10 pieces fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini slices to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cherry tomatoes and the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and mix well.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves.
Serve the Italian Chicken Stir Fry warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
