Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips

  • Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and 1/3 cup of water. Stir frequently until liquid comes to a boil.
  • Stir in peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until liquid reduces to a saucy consistency.
