Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium, sliced into thin strips
• Chicken breast - 200 grams, thinly sliced
• Eggs - 2 large
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Oyster sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper and red chili flakes if using.
4. In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, cooked chicken, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chopped green onion. Mix well to combine.
5. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and pour them over the zucchini mixture, stirring gently to incorporate.
6. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
7. Drizzle sesame oil over the top and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the eggs are set.
