Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 lb chicken thighs or breast, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or ground
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced or ground
  • 1/2 lb green beans, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 2 medium bell peppers, chopped
  • 3-5 jalapeƱos, diced
  • 3-4 scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp MSG optional

Instructions

  • Heat oil in large pan over medium high heat.
  • Sprinkle some salt over chicken (about 1/2 a teaspoon) then add chicken to the pan mixing occasionally so it cooks evenly and doesn't stick.
  • When chicken is white and beginning to brown (about 2 minutes of cooking) stir in onions followed by mushrooms.
  • When onions are getting translucent and mushrooms have softened, mix in garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  • Next stir in green beans followed by the peppers, jalapeƱos and zucchini.
  • Add soy sauce, vinegar and MSG if using. Stir to coat completely.
  • You can taste for salt at this point and add some if needed. Let it cook until veggies are slightly tender and not over cooked, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix in scallions and let it cook for another minute then turn heat off.
  • Serve immediately over steamed white rice or side of your choice.
