Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into ½" strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups zucchini sliced into rounds, about ⅓-inch thick
- 3 large cloves garlic minced
- 0.25 cup water
- 3 green onions thinly sliced for topping
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for topping

Instructions
- Whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
