Step 1
Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add the 1 sliced onion, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 sliced zucchini. Stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the 1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce and stir to coat everything. Cook until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Serve hot over steamed rice.
