Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 12 ounces Fresh green beans
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Ginger root
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Trim the green beans and cut them into approximately two-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves and ginger root.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water until fully dissolved. This will be the slurry for thickening.

Step 5

In another bowl, stir together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and sesame oil. Set this sauce aside for later use.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 7

Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 9

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 10

Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.

Step 11

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the green beans.

Step 12

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and green beans, stirring to combine.

Step 13

Give the cornstarch slurry a quick mix and add it to the skillet. Stir until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and green beans, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 14

Serve the stir-fried chicken and green beans hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
