Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 cups Fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season lightly with ground black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, unsalted chicken broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. This will be the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Remove the green beans from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Step 7
Return the green beans to the skillet with the chicken.
Step 8
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the chicken and green beans. Stir well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve hot. This dish pairs well with steamed brown rice or quinoa for a complete low-sodium meal.
