Weeknight stir-fries are one of those meals that feel fast and satisfying, and this chicken and zucchini version absolutely delivers on both counts. Tender slices of chicken breast get seared until golden, then tossed with sweet zucchini, onion, garlic, and ginger in a glossy, savory sauce built from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of turmeric. The whole thing comes together in a single skillet or wok, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner. Many stir-fry sauces rely on eggs for binding or use pre-made blends with hidden additives, but here the arrowroot starch does all the thickening work cleanly and naturally. Every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so there's no guesswork about what's actually in your bowl. Finished with fresh scallions and a handful of cilantro or parsley, it looks and tastes like something you'd order out ā except you made it yourself in under thirty minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, arrowroot starch, turmeric, and 1/2 tsp salt until the starch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. Set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp of the coconut oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering and just beginning to smoke. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, until the underside is golden. Flip and cook for another 2ā3 minutes, until the chicken is opaque throughout with no pink at the center and reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a plate.
