One Pan Chicken, Mushroom, and Zucchini Stir Fry

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Chicken, Mushroom, and Zucchini stir fry in a black bowl

Fun Fact: Back in the day I would frequent the local Panda Express a good amount. My usual order would be the double meat plate and obviously Orange Chicken would be ordered 100% every time. I would switch up my second meat option quite a bit though and their Chicken and Mushroom Stir Fry dish started to become my go to!

I don’t eat fast food that much anymore but I still think about that dish often. A lot of you have been wanting to see me start to create more easy weeknight recipes made with minimal ingredients. That got me thinking about this dish. I decided to make a Paleo version and hope you guys love it! I served this over some Cauliflower Rice and it was insane!

Description

Super easy and tasty Chicken Stir Fry dish that comes together in no time!  This is Paleo and Whole 30.


Ingredients

Scale

STIR FRY INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thigh, cut into small pieces
  • 4 cups zucchini, 1/4″ half moon sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp potato starch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp butter

SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha

Instructions

SAUCE STEPS:

  1. Add all ingredients into a bowl excluding the chicken broth and whisk up. Set aside.

STIR FRY STEPS:

  1. Heat up a 12 inch pan on medium high heat.  Once hot, add in 2 tbsp avocado oil. Working in batches, fry the chicken for 3 minutes each side. Remove from pan and add to a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Add in 1 tbsp of avocado oil to the pan then throw in the mushrooms and shallot.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Sauté for 4-5 minutes. Remove and add to the Chicken Bowl.
  3. Add 1 tbsp of avocado oil, throw in the zucchini and season with a nice sprinkle of salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.  Add in 1 tbsp butter and sauté for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from pan and add to Chicken Bowl.
  4. Drop the heat to medium.  Add in the garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Once it starts to brown, add in the sauce and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.  Now add in the chicken broth and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once it reduces down a bit, add in the stir fry ingredients (chicken, mushrooms, shallot, and zucchini) and sauté all of the ingredients in the sauce.  Drop heat to low and let this simmer for 3-4 minutes stirring often.  Top with sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

  • Serve this with some Cauliflower Rice.
  • Could top this with an egg if you are feeling a little crazy!

BOLOGNESE SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

* 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
* 1 lb ground veal
* 1 lb ground pork (80/20)
* 2 large celery stalks, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
* 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped (about ⅔ cup)
* ½ large sweet onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 tbsp Calabrian chili, chopped (or a pinch of red pepper flakes – optional for heat)
* 2 tbsp butter
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 cup whole milk
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 3 tbsp tomato paste
* 28 oz can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
* 17 oz tomato sauce
* 3 tsp salt, divided (plus more to taste)
* ½ tsp black pepper
* 1 tsp sugar

STEPS

1. Prep your veggies
Finely dice the carrots, celery, and onion. You want a small, uniform dice for a smooth texture in the finished sauce.
2. Sauté the soffritto
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 1 minute, then stir in 2 tbsp butter and continue cooking until vegetables are soft, about 4–5 minutes.
3. Brown the meat
Add in the ground beef, veal, and pork, and 3 tsp salt. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon into chunks, then continue to crumble as it cooks, about 2–3 minutes.
4. Add milk and simmer
Pour in 1 cup of whole milk and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until most of the milk has reduced and the meat is fully broken down, about 15–20 minutes.
5. Add white wine
Stir in 1 cup of white wine and continue simmering on medium-low until reduced, about 20–30 minutes.
6. Build flavor
Add the Calabrian chili, minced garlic, and 3 tbsp tomato paste. Cook for 2–4 minutes, stirring frequently to deepen the flavor.
7. Add tomatoes & seasonings
Pour in the crushed San Marzano tomatoes, tomato sauce, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp additional salt. Stir well to combine.
8. Final simmer
Simmer gently on low heat for 20–30 minutes, uncovered, to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken. Taste and adjust salt or chili heat as needed.
9. Serve or store
Let cool slightly if using in lasagna, or serve hot over pasta like tagliatelle or rigatoni. This sauce also freezes beautifully!

[Save & Share]

INGREDIENTS:
 
* 8 oz almond milk 
* 2 tbsp peanut butter 
* 1 scoop protein powder 
* 1 tbsp hemp seeds 
* 1 tbsp cacao powder 
* double shot espresso 
* 2 chopped dates 
* 4–5 ice cubes	
* 5 frozen banana slices 
* 1/4 tsp vanilla extract	
* sprinkle of sea salt
* sprinkle of cinnamon

1. Add all ingredients into a high-powered blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring everything is well combined.

NOTES:

* Peanut Butter: I use Kirkland’s Peanut Butter, which is a sugar-free option.
* Paleo Option: Swap peanut butter for almond butter for a full paleo recipe.
* Sweetness: For a sweeter shake, add 1 tbsp of maple syrup to taste.
* Frozen Banana: Peel and slice the banana into pieces, then place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight. I love adding a few frozen pieces to my shakes for a creamy, thick texture and that perfect chill!

Iced Matcha Latte with Starbucks-Style Vanilla Cold Foam 🍵

If you know me, you know I’m a huge matcha addict. So, after perfecting my go-to iced matcha latte, I had to finally share the recipe. This one’s been my daily fix for a while now, and the vanilla cold foam takes it to another level. I use mostly almond milk and a little bit of cream to make it not as heavy.

Full recipe is up on paleoish.com—but here’s what you need:

Ingredients:
	•	1g (1 tsp) ceremonial-grade matcha
	•	1/4 cup hot water (175-180°F)
	•	1/2 cup almond milk
	•	3 tbsp heavy cream
	•	1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
	•	1/4 tsp vanilla extract
