Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced Cut against the grain into even strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Extra virgin for finishing, light olive or avocado oil for higher heat
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Vegetables

  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced Half-moons about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
Cooking
  1. Add the chicken in a single layer. Let it sear for 2 minutes without moving the pieces.
  2. Stir the chicken and continue cooking until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes total.
  3. Push the chicken to one side of the pan. Add the minced garlic to the empty space and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
  4. Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still have a little bite.
  5. Sprinkle in the oregano and basil. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Toss everything to combine and warm through.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve right away.
