Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)

Vegetables

  • 3 medium zucchinis (spiralized)
  • 1 red red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup carrots (julienned)

Sauce & Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add bell pepper and carrots; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce.
