  • 1 small zucchini cut into half circles
  • 4 oz white mushrooms or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
  • ¼ cup water to cook the veggies

  • Transfer sliced chicken into a large bowl. Add Marinade ingredients as listed above. Mix well and let this marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine Stir Fry Sauce ingredients as listed above.
  • In a large wok or large nonstick pan on medium high heat, add 2 teaspoon vegetable oil. Once oil is hot, fry chicken until cooked through with a golden brown sear on the edges, about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce to medium heat, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Fry zucchini and mushrooms for 1 minute. Then add ¼ cup water to help cook them until softened. Cook until water has completely evaporated.
