Oriental Garlic Chicken with Zucchini image

This is a fantastic stir-fry dish with lots of wonderful garlic flavor! You can play around with the veggie part...I've added broccoli instead of the zucchini, sometimes throw in some bamboo chutes, baby corn...just go with whatever catches your eye (and your tastebuds!). No matter which way you do it, this is a fantastic restaurant-quality dish that you will want to make again and again!!

Not a fan of zucchini, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chicken still turned out great! The garlic sauce was delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce lacked flavor. I think it could have used more garlic and ginger. Overall, it was just okay.

Tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy. The zucchini added a nice crunch and freshness. Definitely a keeper!

So easy and flavorful! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it turned out great. The zucchini added a nice touch of freshness. Served it over rice and it was a hit. Definitely recommend this recipe.

This chicken recipe is a winner! My whole family loved it, even my picky teenager. The garlic and zucchini really complement each other, and the sauce is delicious. Will definitely be making this again soon. 5/5 stars!
