Ingredients

2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 ¼ cups cornstarch, or as needed
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (8 ounce) package shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 (8 ounce) package maitake mushrooms, roughly chopped
2 large zucchini, chopped
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon chile paste, or to taste

Steps:

Put chicken in a zip-top bag with enough cornstarch to lightly coat.
Heat sesame oil and canola oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to plate. Add all mushrooms and zucchini, adding extra oil if needed, and brown until tender, about 3 minutes, depending on desired texture. Add chicken back into the pan, then add soy and chile paste to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
