1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts, or thighs or tenders, thinly sliced then cut into bite-sized pieces)

4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (divided)

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (divided)

2 teaspoons granulated sugar (divided)

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

3 cloves minced garlic (about 1 tablespoon)

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Chopped green onion (for garnish)

Yöntemler

Marinate

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Set aside while you prep the remaining ingredients.

Stir

In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar, the ginger, garlic, water, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Chop

Trim off the ends of the zucchini. Cut in half lengthwise, then place the flat, cut sides on the counter. Slice crosswise into 1/4-inch thick half moons. Thinly slice the onion.

Saute

In a wide skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and its marinating liquid. Saute until the chicken is golden brown on the outsides and fully cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.

Cook

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion. Cook until tender and beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Combine

Give the sauce one more stir, then add it to the pan. Let cook 30 seconds, then add the sliced zucchini. Cook just until the zucchini begins to soften, about 3 minutes more.

Serve

Remove from the heat, then stir in the reserved chicken. Serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onion as desired.
