Equipment 

All you will need is:

  • A sharp knife and chopping board for cutting the ingredients
  • A large wok or frying pan
  • A wooden spoon
  • A measuring jug
  • A plate or bowl and cutlery

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken by boating it in black pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a wok or frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the chicken and begin frying it. Stir the chicken regularly to ensure that it cooks evenly. 
  3. Once the chicken starts to develop a golden brown color, remove it from the pan and set it aside. 
  4. Add more oil to the pan and wait until it has been heated up. Add the garlic and ginger to the wok. Then, add the mushroom, zucchini, and shallots so that they are seasoned with the delicious herbs. Stir these ingredients regularly to guarantee even cooking.
  5. Once the vegetables have finished cooking, add the chicken back to the frying pan and continue cooking it on low heat for approximately 1 minute. Stir frequently to combine all of the ingredients.
  6. In the meantime, combine the ingredients for the sauce (coconut aminos, broth, balsamic vinegar, and sesame oil) in a measuring jug using a wooden spoon.
  7. Add the sauce to the chicken and vegetable mixture and heat it in a low setting. Continue to stir regularly to prevent the ingredients from burning. Cook for approximately 4 more minutes.
  8. If the stir fry is too moist, continue to heat the mixture to boil off some of the liquid. Once you have achieved the desired consistency, remove the stir fry from the heat. 
  9. Take the stir fry off the what. Serve the dish on a plate or bowl. If desired, sprinkle the food with a handful of sesame seeds to enhance the flavor and color of the dish. Enjoy eating your irresistible chicken and mushroom stir fry.
