Prep: Chop your veggies (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, onion), grate ginger, and mince garlic. Divide them into separate bowls.
Make the Yum Yum Sauce: Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Chill in the fridge until serving.
Ready the stir fry sauce: Combine tamari, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 Tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add garlic, grated ginger, and chicken. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken reaches 165°F and is slightly golden. Add the stir fry sauce and stir for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
Cook the veggies: In another skillet, melt 2 Tablespoons butter. Sauté garlic, then add zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, and onion. Stir-fry on medium-high for 5-8 minutes, taking care to keep the veggies crisp-tender. Add tamari and toss for another minute.
Assemble: Serve chicken and veggies with brown rice, cauliflower rice, or your grain of choice. Drizzle with Yum Yum Sauce and enjoy.
