Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil for frying
  • 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breast halves sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 2 medium Zucchini sliced in bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups sliced Mushrooms
  • Fried Rice cooked, to serve

Instructions

  • Pour 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan.
  • Place pan over medium-high heat.
  • When oil is hot and shimmering, add chicken breast pieces.
  • Cook for about 1 minute, to brown on the bottom. Stir chicken around to turn to other sides and add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoons soy sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring and tossing, until chicken is browned on all sides and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add lemon juice. Stir well to fully coat.
  • Remove chicken from pan to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Place used pan back on heat (do not wipe clean). Add 1 tablespoon butter to empty pan.
  • When butter has melted and is hot (do not burn), add zucchini and 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or more to taste) and a dash of salt and pepper.
  • Sauté zucchini until crisp-tender. Remove from pan to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Then add 1 more tablespoon butter to pan.
  • When butter has melted and is hot (do not burn), add mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle a tiny bit of soy sauce over them and add a small dash of salt and pepper.
  • Sauté until golden, but still moist. Remove pan from heat.
  • On large serving plate, pile chicken.
  • Scatter mushrooms and zucchini separately and decoratively over chicken.
  • Serve hot with fried rice.
