• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

• 1 small zucchini, sliced

• 1 small red onion, sliced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth (for sautéing)

For the Sauce (Zero-Point Version):

🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients:

3. Cook the Veggies:

   • Stir-fry until tender-crisp (about 6–8 minutes total).

4. Add Sauce & Combine:

   • Return the chicken to the pan.

   • Pour in the sauce ingredients and toss everything together.
