Making Quick Chicken Zucchini Stir Fry is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the chicken and vegetables as noted in the ingredients list. This ensures everything cooks evenly and quickly.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the Chicken: Place the sliced chicken into the pan in a single layer. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

6. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
