Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups green beans, trimmed
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp water
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips and season them with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, arrowroot powder, and water. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Toss in the green beans and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the coconut aminos mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
Step 9
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, before serving.
