Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.
These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers. The adaptations have not been kitchen-tested. Nutrition provenance and source limitations are listed with each recipe; missing nutrition stays unreported.

Before you start
- Lidded skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Sauce
Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener, sesame oil and garlic together.
- Stir-fry
Heat the frying oil in a skillet over medium. Season chicken to taste and brown it for 5–6 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook another 2–3 minutes.
- Simmer
Coat the contents with the prepared sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the listed chopped cashews and green onions when serving.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: 285 kcal; protein: 40.6 g; total carbs: 2.1 g; fiber: 0.3 g; net carbs: 1.8 g
Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.
Listed allergens: sesame, soy, tree nuts. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- The publisher lists cashews and green onions without saying when to add them; this adaptation uses them as serving garnishes.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
