Step 1

Mix all marinade ingredients together and pour half over chicken (don't marinate the shrimp, if you're using them). Let marinate in the refrigerator at least one hour or overnight.

Step 3

Reserve the other half of marinade to use as sauce.

Step 5

In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat and add chicken and onions. Saute until onions are tender and chicken is nearly cooked. Add zucchini(and shrimp, if using) and cook until zucchini is tender-crisp and shrimp is pink.

Step 7

(This should only take a few minutes, as zucchini is best gently cooked, and shrimp also cook quickly.)

Step 9

Pour about 1/4 cup of reserved sauce into the pan and cook and stir until all ingredients are coated. Remaining sauce may be stirred into rice if desired.

Step 11

Serve the rice onto dinner plates and top with chicken, shrimp and vegetables. Add yum yum sauce if desired.
