Ingredients

2 large boneless chicken breast
2 cups broccoli florets
1 large red bell pepper
1 medium zucchini
3 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

The boneless chicken breast becomes thin uneven strips while broccoli florets break into smaller pieces and red bell pepper and zucchini turn into irregular slices. Everything now shows raw colors and varied shapes with natural size differences across the cutting board.
The chicken strips get coated with soy sauce ginger garlic and cornstarch mixture and then the surface turns glossy and slightly sticky. The pieces start clumping lightly as the liquid spreads unevenly across each strip.
The chicken cooks and changes from pale pink to opaque white with light golden edges forming in patches. The pieces shift apart slightly as moisture releases and the coating tightens around them.
Broccoli florets red bell pepper and zucchini get added and then colors brighten while steam softens edges. The vegetables mix with chicken and begin to glisten as sauce spreads across surfaces unevenly.
The remaining sauce thickens and lightly coats everything creating a glossy finish and slightly sticky texture. Chicken and vegetables settle into a cohesive mixture with small browned spots and softened edges.
