In 12-inch skillet over medium heat, in 3 tablespoons hot salad oil, cook zucchini, mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring quickly and frequently (stir-frying), until zucchini are tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon zucchini mixture into small bowl.

In same skillet over medium-low heat, in 5 tablespoons hot oil, cook green onions until tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to high; add chicken mixture and stir-fry until chicken loses its pink color, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in bouillon mixture; reduce heat to medium; cover skillet and let mixture simmer 1 to 2 minutes until chicken and shrimp are tender. Remove cover; stir in zucchini mixture; heat through. Serves 4.
