Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs about 1½ lbs cut into 1/2″ strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 small or 2 large zucchini sliced into rounds, about 1/3-inch thick, about 4 cups worth
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup water
- 3 green onions thinly sliced for topping
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for topping
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, warm the oil over med-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring or tossing frequently, until it is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the zucchini to the empty skillet. Cook, stirring or tossing frequently until the zucchini begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, while tossing constantly, for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add water to the pan and use a wooden spoon or metal spatula to scrape up all the browned bits. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and return the chicken to the pan.
- Cook, while stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice if desired.
