In a strange twist, I completely forgot about making this for Alex’s lunches two weekends ago. We spent the entire week–which just so happened to also be the first week of my summer semester–babysitting my parents’ dog at their house, followed by an equally hectic Memorial Day weekend running around town. All’s well that ends well, though, and this coming weekend should be… absolutely bat-shit insane with us both heading down to Virginia Beach on a business trip for his company followed by my first midterm of the semester at 8:30 on Monday morning. Oh boy! When this is all over, I’ll have forgotten what it feels like to have some quiet time just like I forgot about making this recipe.
This recipe makes four servings.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 chicken thighs
- 1 white onion
- 4 zucchini
- 2 yellow squash
- 4 bell peppers (orange and red)
- 4 tbsp soy sauce, divided
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp minced ginger
- 2 tsp white pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
Directions:
- Chop vegetables (and roughly mince onion into small pieces) and set aside.
- Slice chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add to a large wok or skillet pan with butter, minced garlic, minced ginger, white pepper, salt, black pepper, and 2 tbsp soy sauce.
- Cook on high heat until all chicken is cooked through with browned edges and most liquid has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add vegetables to the still-hot wok or skillet along with remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce (to “deglaze” any fond on the pan left from the chicken). Cook until onions have softened significantly and the other vegetables have become brighter in color, about 10 minutes.
- Serve with your choice of rice and garnish with sesame seeds as desired.
This recipe keeps well in the fridge for a week and reheats well in the microwave. Enjoy!

So this recipe is really tasty but your SERVINGS are compLetely off. My husband cut this recipe in 1/2 and it made 6 sErVings. To make this as is this would make 12 servings not 4! I would recommend updating the seRvings so others are not mislead.
