Instructions
- Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Place the cubed chicken thighs and cornstarch in a bowl and toss to coat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet. Sear the chicken until brown on one side. Flip and sear on the second side until completely cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the skillet. Without overcrowding the pan, stir-fry the mushrooms until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and stir-fry until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the sauce and mix to combine. Serve over rice.
Notes
- Chicken thighs will stay juicier and more tender than breast meat in this dish.
- The zucchini cooks quickly. Adding it last in the stir-frying process ensures it doesn't get mushy.
