Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and chop the vegetables. Set everything aside so you can easily toss them into the pan.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken breast. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil (or use cooking spray). Add the onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add the bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re tender but still crisp.
- Add the Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and sesame oil (if using). Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the sauce, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through. If you like it spicier, add the crushed red pepper flakes.
- Serve: Divide the stir-fry into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, zero-point chicken stir fry!
Tips:
- For More Flavor: If you want a bit more flavor, add a small amount of sugar-free teriyaki sauce or a splash of lime juice before serving.
