For the Chicken Marinade:
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
¼ cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
For the Vegetable Stir-Fry:
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 large onion, sliced
¾ cup carrot chips, halved or quartered
1 cup button mushrooms, whole or sliced
1–2 medium zucchini, chopped
2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Sesame seeds, for garnish
For the Yum Yum Sauce:
½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative)
2 teaspoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2½ tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Optional for Serving:
Cooked rice or cauliflower rice
Chopped green onions
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix together coconut aminos, ground ginger, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15–30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and cook the marinated chicken for about 10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini until tender but still slightly crisp.
Combine Chicken and Veggies
Return the chicken to the skillet with the veggies. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Stir to combine and heat for another 2–3 minutes.
Prepare the Yum Yum Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, coconut aminos, garlic powder, sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth.
Serve
Plate the chicken and veggies over rice or cauliflower rice. Drizzle generously with yum yum sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with green onions if desired.
Make Ahead Tip: The chicken can be marinated the night before for even more flavor.
Veggie Swap: Feel free to use bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas depending on what you have.
Heat Level: Adjust the sriracha in the sauce to taste if you prefer it milder or spicier.
Gluten-Free: Use coconut aminos or tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
