Chicken with Zucchini and Mushrooms

We don't eat out a lot, but the kids really love Panda Express. One of the things that they always want from there is the chicken with zucchini and mushrooms.  I wanted to see if I could make something like it and I have to say, it came out delicious! Try it and let me know what you think! :)

Chicken with Zucchini and Mushrooms

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cubed)

1 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp vegetable oil

3 tsp sesame oil

6 cloves garlic, chopped

1/3 white onion, diced

4 zucchini, cut into 1"chunks. ( I cut them in half lengthwise, then sliced into pieces)

1 lb white mushrooms (quartered)

2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce 

1 tsp salt

Sprinkle chicken with cornstarch and toss to evenly coat chicken.

Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to a preheated skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken into the sauce pan and drizzle with sesame oil. Cook about 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat.

While the chicken is cooking, in another pre heated skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tsp sesame oil. Add the garlic and onion and cook until the onions are transluscent. About 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and mushrooms. You want the zucchini to be cooked, but not mushy. Mine cooked about 8 minutes.

While the vegetables are cooking, in a separate bowl, combine ginger, hoisin, soy sauce and salt.

Pour over the veggie mixture. Add the chicken and combine. 

Serve with cooked white rice.
