Ingredients (weird amounts because I 1.5-ed it)
- 1.5 tablespoon +1 teaspoon vegetable oil divided use
- 3.75 cups green beans trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1.5 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 0.38 cup low sodium chicken broth or water
- 0.38 cup soy sauce
- 4.5 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons corn starch
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the green beans and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until beans are tender.
- Remove the green beans from the pan; place them on a plate and cover.
- Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the pan in a single layer - you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the green beans back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the green beans are warmed through.
- In a bowl whisk together the chicken broth, honey and soy sauce.
- In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and green beans; cook for 30 seconds.
- Whisk in the cornstarch and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken, stirring constantly.
- Serve immediately, with rice if desired.
