Stir Fry Chicken with Zucchini and Noodles
1whole or 2 halves chicken breast, diced or sliced thin
1 Tablespoon oil
1 clove garlic crushed, or 1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, sliced into matchsticks
14 cup canned mushroom slices

- Stir fry the chicken over high heat with the garlic in a small amount of oil. When it turns white, add the soy sauce and continue stirring for a 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the zucchini, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. Continue cooking for a few more minutes
- Mix the cornstarch with the water or broth. Stir into the mixture and cook, stirring until thickened.
- Serve the Chicken with Zucchini over a bed of drained ramen noodles. Serves 4.
