Thinly slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together coconut aminos, grated garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and brown sugar to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the sliced chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Slice the zucchini into half-moons, quarter the mushrooms, and julienne the carrots. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or hibachi grill over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the zucchini, mushrooms, and carrots to the other side.
Cook the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
Mix the cooked chicken and vegetables together in the skillet. Squeeze half a lemon over the mixture and give it a final toss.
Chop the scallions and sprinkle them over the top of the chicken and vegetables.
Serve the soy-free hibachi chicken hot, over a bed of cooked rice, and enjoy!
