Panda Express Mushroom Chicken Copycat

Step 1

In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Add the chicken and mix to coat; allow to marinate for 20-30 minutes or overnight.

Step 2

Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in another small bowl. Set it aside.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the skillet is smoking, add the chicken in a single layer (don't overcrowd the skillet to get a good sear). Cook until browned, flipping and mixing as needed.  Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms and zucchini to the skillet and cook until vegetables are crisp tender ( about 2-3 minutes), mixing frequently.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium low and add the chicken back to the skillet. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Finally, pour the sauce into the skillet, mix everything to coat. Stir fry until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
