Chicken and Green Bean Stir-Fry
A quick and flavorful stir-fry featuring tender chicken and vibrant green beans in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- to taste salt and pepper
- cooked rice or noodles for serving
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned all over.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the trimmed green beans. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir for about a minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour this mixture over the chicken and green beans.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well coated and heated through.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles.
