Zucchini goes in last—it releases water; chicken strips need a fast sear.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 8 min · Cook 10 min

Cut chicken into strips; salt and pepper; zucchini half-moons; slice garlic.
Medium-high oil; chicken about 4 minutes until color changes; remove.
Same pan; garlic; zucchini 2 minutes over high.
Return chicken; toss 1 minute over high.
Serve alone or with salad.
Use medium heat unless noted; stir or flip occasionally for even cooking.
Check doneness (no pink juices in poultry, fish flakes easily), then adjust salt.
