Chicken and Zucchini Stir Fry

Summer means zucchini season. Whenever I go to the grocery store, they are practically giving them away because there are so many being grown. If you grow your own, you get to the point where you are doing everything you can to use them up. From Zucchini Bread to Zucchini Chips, you use what you can. What I love about this recipe for Chicken and Zucchini Stir Fry is that it is super easy to make, it only takes one skillet, it’s also a perfect, healthy weeknight meal!
