About This Dish

Mushroom Chicken is the quiet entree that regulars order twice as often as first timers: diced chicken wok tossed with mushrooms and zucchini in a light ginger soy sauce, 220 calories a serving, available in formats from $8.50. It is one of the lowest calorie chicken dishes on the menu and it never announces itself, which is exactly the appeal.

The flavor is savory and clean, built on mushrooms rather than sugar. Zucchini keeps its bite, the mushrooms soften into something meaty, and the sauce stays thin enough to season without coating. There is no batter, no glaze and nothing sticky, so the dish tastes closer to home cooking than anything else on the line. It looks understated on the tray next to the red glazed entrees and holds its texture longer than any of them.

Mushroom Chicken calories come in at 220 with 13 g of protein and 10 g of carbs, which puts it among the three lightest chicken options alongside String Bean Chicken Breast at 210 and Potato Chicken at 190. Fat lands at 14 g and sodium at 840 mg. The published flags are wheat, soy and sesame, all from the sauce base.

How much is Mushroom Chicken? Entree prices are set by each store, so the formats are the dependable figures: $8.50 for a Bowl with a side, $10.50 for a Plate carrying two entrees.

It suits weekday lunches, anyone avoiding sweet food, and diners who want a second entree that balances something fried. Pair it with White Steamed Rice at 520 calories for the plainest comfort version, or with Super Greens at 130 calories for a bowl that stays under 400 calories total. On a Plate it works well beside Orange Chicken, where its restraint offsets the glaze.

Tips

  • Dry pan first for the mushrooms. Oil at the start makes them absorb rather than brown.
  • Slice the zucchini thick or it disappears into the sauce.
  • Keep the sauce thin. This dish is seasoned, not glazed.

Variations

  • Cremini or shiitake mushrooms deepen it considerably.
  • Add a splash of oyster sauce for a richer savory note.
  • Tofu instead of chicken works with no other change.

Serve it with: Steamed rice, or over greens for the lightest bowl the store's menu suggests.
