This is a quick and easy recipe with a lot of flavor. Serve it over cauliflower rice for a delicious low-carb meal. You can also mix it up by adding different vegetables.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp of Arrowroot
1 T of olive oil
1 T of sesame oil
8 ounces of baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
4 small zucchini
1 T low sodium soy sauce
1 T rice vinegar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger paste (or 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger)

Directions

Cut the chicken into small pieces and toss them in a zip lock with the Arrowroot. I use Arrowroot as it contains less carbs than cornstarch.
Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. I like to use my iron skillet.
Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides. About 6 - 7 minutes. Remove the chicken and put on a plate.
Add the zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes stirring often.
Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic and ginger and continue cooking until the mushrooms and zucchini are tender (not mushy) about another 2 minutes.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine and heat about 1 minute. Serve over cauliflower rice.
