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!

Here are my top tips to reverse searing a steak:
• Use a meat tenderizer to ensure optimal texture and salt absorption
• Salt both sides + wire rack overnight for the best crust
• Bake at 250° until the internal temp hits 120°
• Pat dry + sear in a hot pan with avocado oil, flipping often until it reaches 130–135° for a nice medium-rare
• Rest 10 minutes, then slice

This method never misses 🔥🥩

Finally tried @trulypizza in Dana Point and it lived up to the hype! They ferment the crust so it has a sourdough light and airy vibe to it, but is super crispy and delicious. Highly recommend this spot!

High Protein Yogurt Bowl Recipe

Here’s one of my go-to high protein snacks when I’m craving something sweet and filling. A paleoish dessert or snack idea that takes minutes to make.

Recipe
170g full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 scoop vanilla @getpaleopro protein powder
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Sprinkle of sea salt
2 tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds
1/4 cup walnuts
Handful of blueberries and strawberries
Small handful of dark chocolate chips
How to make it:
Mix the yogurt with maple syrup, then stir in the protein powder and sea salt. Add all your toppings and it’s ready to eat.
What I like about @getpaleopro is that their protein is made from beef protein, collagen, and egg whites, so it’s paleo friendly, easy to digest, and keeps you full.
