Chicken Stir-Fry with Bell Peppers, Zucchini and Rice

Prepare the ingredients. Prepare all ingredients and lay them out on the work surface – we'll cook step by step from them 👩‍🍳🥘

Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips so the meat cooks faster and mixes better with the other ingredients.

Chop the onion. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces or slices according to preference.

Slice the garlic. Peel the garlic and cut it into thin slices to add an intense aroma to the dish.

Dice the zucchini. Cut the zucchini into small cubes that will cook quickly and combine well with the other ingredients.

Slice the carrot. Slice the carrot thinly so it will be nicely crunchy and evenly cooked.

Slice the bell pepper. Cut the bell pepper into long strips that will add a sweet flavor and vibrant color to the dish.

Sauté the garlic and onion. Heat oil in a pan, add the garlic and onion, sauté over medium heat for about 3 minutes until they turn golden and become fragrant.

Add the vegetables. Add the zucchini, carrot and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for another 5 minutes so the vegetables soften and absorb the flavors.

Add the rice. Add the rice to the pan and stir it with the vegetables so it gets lightly sautéed.

Add the stock. Pour in water (or use bouillon or stock instead, if you have it) and stir so the rice absorbs the liquid and flavors. Cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes

Add the chicken. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for another 7-8 minutes until the meat is cooked through and juicy.

Season and serve. Season the dish with soy sauce, freshly ground pepper and optionally sprinkle with chopped herbs if you have them

Serve. Serve and enjoy the meal. 🍽️😋
