  • 1 Zucchini

Tip: Marinate for 6 to 24hrs and set out about 20 min prior to cooking.

Step1: Marinate

Large Zip Lock type bag or a sealable container place the Chicken. Mix the marinade ingredients in another container and pour in. Move the Chicken around to evenly coat. Place in refrigerator for 6 to 24hrs.

Via: Pan

Step2: Get it comfortable

About 20min before cooking, set the chicken container out on counter so doesn't cool oil as much when add to pan later.

Tip 2: Dry rub can be a premix pack or a combination of seasonings such as paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, etc.

Step3: Chicken time

Add 1 TBSP Olive Oil to pan and bring temp up to Med/High. Once hot, carefully add the chicken (Caution: may splatter due to marinate hitting hot oil). Cover, leaving small gap with a lid. Cook for about 5min or so (just before seasoning burns) and then flip so other side can do same.

Step4: Veggies

While the chicken cooks, dice veggies. Once both sides of the chicken are cooked as stated in Step3 above then immediately add the veggies and any left over marinate**, stir well to coat everything ensuring the chicken is turned over once more. Continue to stir about every 2 or 3min until veggies are cooked down, which will be about 10min or so. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, stirring once more. Verify chicken cooked with thermometer reading 165+degreesF. Set chicken aside to rest for 5min. Continue cooking veggies in pan but lower the temp.

**: Marinate previously used by raw chicken can be dangerous - we are only adding the little bit of leftover marinate when veggies are added to pan as they will cook for another 10min+ which should bring everything in pan up to proper temperature.

Step5: Cut & Serve

After chicken has rested for 5min, slice into small strips / chunks. Return to pan, stir everything to evenly coat and serve!
