Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips and season them with sea salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, arrowroot powder, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
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.
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.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
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.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, before serving.
