Ingredients
What you need
- 60 ml soy sauce (gluten free)
- 240 ml chicken broth
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, divided

Instructions
- In a large bowl add the soy sauce, chicken broth, corn starch, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil and whisk until everything is completely dissolved. In a large skillet, add 2 tsp. coconut oil and the chicken, about 2-3 minutes on each side, on medium-high heat. Then set aside on a plate. Using the same skillet, add in the remaining 1 tsp. of oil, garlic and ginger and sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant, but being careful not to burn it. Stir the garlic and ginger well and add in the earlier prepared sauce. Whisk well. Simmer the sauce for 1 minute, then add in the zucchini and continue cooking for 2 more minutes, until thickened and the zucchini is tender-crisp. Remove from the heat, add in the chicken, and stir until well coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions if desired.
