Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for best results.
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced You can use different colors for a vibrant look.
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Adjust amount based on preference.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Chop finely before garnishing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil. In your large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Cook the chicken. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and has cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add garlic. Once the chicken is golden and cooked through, add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute, or until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Incorporate the vegetables. Toss in the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes into the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to become tender yet retain some crispness.
  5. Season the dish. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Garnish and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, incorporate lemon juice or zest before serving. This stir fry pairs well with quinoa or brown rice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
