Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast

• 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 piece zucchini, halved and sliced
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 10 pieces fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and zucchini slices to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add the cherry tomatoes and the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and mix well.

Step 6

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves.

Step 8

Serve the Italian Chicken Stir Fry warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
