Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (thinly sliced)
  • 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into half-moons)
  • 1 red bell pepper (optional, sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for richness)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
