Method

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
Add the sliced chicken breasts. Cook until they are browned and no longer pink inside.
Stir in the sliced zucchinis and bell peppers.
Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender.

Notes

Prep ingredients first to keep the stir frying quick. Use high heat to sear the chicken and retain vegetable crunch. Cut ingredients evenly for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be prepped ahead for quick meals.
