Mushroom Chicken Recipe
I had a few requests for the mushroom chicken from the Chinese buffet. Unfortunately they don’t have mushroom chicken at any of the buffets where I live so I hope this is similar to what you’re looking for. I thought this recipe turned out great. I mean with mushrooms, zucchini and chicken - you can’t go wrong! This recipe takes a little time to prepare but in the end it’s well worth it. The sauce is really easy to make and is basically a combination of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and balsamic vinegar. There was just enough sauce to cover the chicken, zucchini and mushrooms. So if you are serving with noodles or rice I would recommend doubling the sauce. As far as the chicken goes you can either use boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, whichever you prefer. I feel frying the chicken in a mixture of vegetable and sesame oil gives it great flavor. I have many more great recipes from the buffet to come in the near future. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
cornstarch (for dusting)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 package fresh button mushrooms
4 small zucchini
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Cut chicken and zucchini into 1” chunks. Lightly dust chicken with a little bit of corn starch until lightly coated.
Step 2: Add vegetable and sesame oil to the wok and fry chicken pieces until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 3: Add zucchini and mushrooms to the wok and stir fry for a few minutes. Add soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced fresh garlic, and ground ginger to the wok stirring to coat and stir fry until mushrooms and zucchini are fully cooked.
Step 4: Return chicken pieces to the wok and coat with sauce, heat thoroughly and serve.

This is a simple and tasty looking dish. Mushrooms are one of my favorites.
I said “ooooooooooo” after seeing your mushroom chicken
Wonderful!!!!
Everytime I come across one of your photos I have to click! Your food always looks delicious! I think I better subscribe to your blog!!!
I can’t resist Chinese-style cornfloured chicken, especially when there’s mushrooms too.
Delicious.
so you’re taking requests now? i’ve got a few.
this looks great, bobby, and i don’t even like mushrooms.
Looks delicious, Myself and some friends are doing a come dine with me experience, I might be using this as one of the dishes!
This looks like a dish that I get at my local Chinese place, but they call it black pepper chicken. I guess with the addition of some “kick,” it will definitely hit the mark. The recipes that I have found for black pepper chicken normally do not have the zucchini/mushroom mix, so thanks for the recipe.
This looks like a great recipe that I can make at home, thanks! (oh, the picturs are great too)
It is enough to fulfill my Mushroom and Chicken desires. Truly, I am tempted with this site and chicken since I have been visiting the site. I loved another recipe on the site i.e Peanut butter cookies. Those are the best cookies i have ever eaten.

food4themind - No problem. This is a little different than black pepper chicken, but I have a great recipe for that as well coming soon
Naama - Thanks for the compliments on my photos!
New Age - Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies. Many more great recipes to come.
i like tht you’ve put balsamic vinegar in this…it must smell (and taste, of course) so good! although i think my tastebuds of late will only allow for Chinese black vinegar! gosh i love the stuff.
Just like from panda express! I love this, I will have to try it.
diva - I will have to try the chinese black vinegar, I have never used it before.
Corinne - Haha, I keep hearing about the panda express. I looked it up and there isn’t even one close to where I live. I will try it someday though :). I hope you enjoy the recipe.
I made this tonight and it was AWESOME! The entire family loved it, including my kids who are very picky.
I subed the zucchini for cellary though, had to go with what I had on hand. Also added some peanuts.
The sauce ended up a little thick so I’m thinking about adding something next time to kind of water it down a bit, but I’m not sure what.
Otherwise it was AWESOME! LOVED IT! Ate a little too much though…
