"This was inspired by a recipe for Japanese Zucchini and Onion at Allrecipes.com, but I wanted to make it a one-dish meal. So I added some chicken, changed the sauce over to marinade, and called it dinner. Probably this should be served over rice, but we can't have many carbs so I just served it as-is on a plate."
