Notes
To ensure your Chicken Zucchini Stir-Fry turns out perfectly, here are a few helpful tips:
1. High Heat is Key: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly sear the ingredients and lock in their flavors.
2. Don’t Overcook: Be mindful not to overcook the chicken or zucchini, as they can quickly become dry and tough.
3. Customize the Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different sauces and seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
4. Serve with Complementary Sides: Chicken Zucchini Stir-Fry pairs beautifully with fluffy white rice or whole grain noodles.
