• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 8 minutes
• total time: 28 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken breasts, boneless skinless (sliced into 1 inch cubes)

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

2 Tablespoons Vegetable oil (divided)

2 cups Zucchini (sliced)

2 cups Cremini mushrooms, aka brown mushrooms (sliced)

4 cloves Garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated, or 1/4 tsp dried ginger)

¼ cup Soy sauce

1 Tablespoon Rice vinegar

1 Tablespoon Oyster sauce

2 teaspoon Brown sugar

1 Tablespoon Sesame seeds

2-3 tablespoon Green onions (sliced)

Rice for serving

Directions

Toss chicken with cornstarch until chicken is fully coated.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot enough to sizzle when a drop of water hits it, add chicken. Sauté chicken for about 2 minutes, until brown on one side, stir, and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Leave the pan on medium heat and add the second tablespoon of oil, sliced zucchini and mushrooms. Stir-fry until they are just beginning to become tender and soft.

Add garlic and ginger, and stir fry another 60 seconds.

Next, add soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and brown sugar, and stir until sauce is combined.

Add chicken back to pan, and stir to coat chicken with sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir fry until sauce thickens slightly. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds and toss to combine.

Serve with rice or noodles and extra green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
