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!

- 1/2 tsp sriracha
Instructions
SAUCE STEPS:
- Add all ingredients into a bowl excluding the chicken broth and whisk up. Set aside.
STIR FRY STEPS:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
