A quick and flavorful dish combining succulent chicken and crisp green beans in a savory sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 lb fresh green beans (trimmed)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 whole green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch until completely smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked to 165°F internally. Remove to a plate.
  4. Add green beans to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green with some charred spots, remaining crisp-tender.
  5. Push green beans to the sides of the pan. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the center and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil and green onions. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat with a splash of water to retain moisture.
