Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cups green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups white or brown rice (cooked)
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. (They don't need to be fully cooked yet.)
In the same skillet, add sesame oil, garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly add this to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss them to coat in the sauce.
In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, layer the cooked rice on the bottom. Place the green beans and sauce mixture on top of the rice.
Slice the seared chicken breasts into thin strips and arrange them over the green beans in the casserole dish.
Sprinkle crispy fried onions evenly over the top of the dish.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Oriental Chicken Green Bean Casserole!
