Tips

To make the dish healthier, use less oil and opt for low-sodium soy sauce.
For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables, such as broccoli, snap peas, or carrots.
If you don't have zucchini, you can substitute another type of vegetable, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
To make the dish spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
For a more flavorful dish, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
