CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken, toss well and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Drain the chicken and pat dry. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and then the chicken and thyme. Cook, stirring until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper to the pan and quickly cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the bell pepper to the bowl with the chicken. Add the zucchini to the pan and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the chicken. Add the tomatoes, garlic, scallions and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan; season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until well combined and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Serve over rice.

ZUCCHINI STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Set aside while you prep the remaining ingredients.
• In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar, the ginger, garlic, water, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
• Trim off the ends of the zucchini. Cut in half lengthwise, then place the flat, cut sides on the counter. Slice crosswise into ¼-inch thick half moons. Thinly slice the onion.
• In a wide skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and its marinating liquid. Saute until the chicken is golden brown on the outsides and fully cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion. Cook until tender and beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Give the sauce one more stir, then add it to the pan. Let cook 30 seconds, then add the sliced zucchini. Cook just until the zucchini begins to soften, about 3 minutes more.
