Cook’s notes
Slice the chicken thinly and keep the pan very hot, cooking in two batches if the strips crowd, or they steam instead of browning. Any quick-cooking vegetable works in place of the zucchini, such as snap peas or broccoli florets cut small. Serve it over steamed rice or noodles to soak up the garlic butter.
