Zucchini Mushroom Chicken Stir Fry is not exactly a rip off from Panda Express, but there is a lot of similarities with this dish and one you can get there. However, the differences are that these are fresh veggies that are not slimy and you can alter some of the ingredients to your liking and taste buds. Overall, this is a simple stir fry of chicken bites prepared with mushrooms and zucchini coated with the a savory stir fry sauce. Pretty simeple and not much prep involved.
