Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Zucchini Stir Fry
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Place chicken in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add a splash of oil.
  3. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add sliced zucchini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crunchy.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet with the zucchini, stir together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the stir fry on plates, pairs well with rice, noodles, or wrapped in lettuce.
