Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 8 oz boneless chicken thighs (cut into 1 inch chunks)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Vegetables:

  • 1/4 cup red onions (sliced)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 zucchini (cut into 1/2 inch half coins)
  • 2 garlic cloves (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup green onions (chopped, for garnish)

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Toss the chicken with cornstarch. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Sear both sides (about 3-4 minutes) until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Crank the heat to high and add your red onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned and slightly tender.
  • Turn the heat down slightly, return the chicken to the pan, and pour in the sauce.
  • Toss everything together until it’s glossy and the sauce thickens up.
  • Garnish with green onions, serve with your side of choice, and boom — instant weeknight win.
