Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 small zucchini, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, white and green parts, cut into 2-inch-long pieces
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, sliced
Hot white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken, toss well and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Drain the chicken and pat dry. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and then the chicken and thyme. Cook, stirring until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper to the pan and quickly cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the bell pepper to the bowl with the chicken. Add the zucchini to the pan and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the chicken. Add the tomatoes, garlic, scallions and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan; season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until well combined and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Serve over rice.

This stir-fry was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the zucchini was mushy. The sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken that I needed to use up, and this stir-fry was the perfect solution. It was easy to make and very tasty.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the zucchini was not very flavorful. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices.

I've made this stir-fry several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's quick and easy to make, and the ingredients are all pretty standard. I like to add a little extra spice by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes. Yum!
