250g Chicken Breast (remaining)
400g Broccoli
400g Zucchini
125g Carrots (remaining)
oil for cooking
salt and pepper
optional: soy sauce, garlic, ginger
Prep the Veg: Cut broccoli into small florets. Slice zucchini into half-moons. Slice carrots thinly on the diagonal.
Prep the Chicken: Slice chicken breast into thin strips.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until golden and cooked through (approx. 5-6 mins). Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Veg: In the same pan, add carrots first (they take longest). Cook for 2 minutes, then add broccoli and zucchini.
Steam-Fry: Add a splash of water (or soy sauce for extra flavour) to the pan. Cover and let vegetables steam for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Combine: Return chicken to the pan. Toss everything together and season with salt and pepper.
Serve: Perfect over rice or quinoa if you have pantry grains available.
