A quick and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken and crisp green beans, cooked in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb fresh green beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with cold water (slurry)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the hot skillet, cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the green beans and sauté for about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the beans, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir.
  8. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water or chicken broth, honey or maple syrup, and cornstarch slurry.
  9. Pour the sauce over the chicken and green beans, stirring to combine. Allow it to thicken for 2 minutes.
  10. Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and add red pepper flakes if desired.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if using.

Notes

For best results, ensure uniform pieces of chicken for even cooking, and don’t overcook the green beans.
