Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Stir together the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl until combined and creamy. This sauce will be very thick - this is normal!
  2. Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and add the chopped yellow onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped chicken and spread it into an even layer. Allow the chicken to brown for 2 minutes untouched, then stir and brown for another 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic, ginger, grated zucchini, carrot, and cabbage and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the sauce to the skillet and stir well. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables have reached your desired level of doneness, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve this zucchini and chicken skillet in bowls with chopped green onions.
