Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams chicken breast
- 300 grams green beans
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
Trim the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches long.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until fully cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and serve immediately, dividing evenly among plates or bowls.
