Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces. Quarter and slice the zucchini. Slice the carrots and bell peppers. Finely chop the onion or spring onions. Heat the oil (coconut oil works well) and sear the meat on all sides. Set the meat aside and briefly sear the prepared vegetables. Return the meat to the pan.
