Thai Style Chicken With Zucchini

Submitted by The Normans

"Unsure where we got this recipe from but it is a quick tasty reasonably priced midweek meal for us. If we don't have rice to serve with we mix glass noodles through the mix. If we want to bulk up the vegetable content, chunks of big mushrooms are delicious added too."

This was fast and an easy change of pace from the usual stir-fries. The recipe needs to clarify the addition of the mushrooms. I substituted cubed boneless chicken thighs for the mince. I made the mistake of adding salt. Don't!
