Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 12 oz Green beans
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Trim the chicken breasts, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Wash and trim the ends off the green beans.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Next, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, chicken broth, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 8

Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the green beans and stir well. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it with the green beans and sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 10

Remove from heat and serve immediately with rice or noodles, if desired.
