Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breasts
- 12 oz Green beans, trimmed
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Pat dry and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir well to create your sauce and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and let it heat up for about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and green beans. Stir frequently and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the green beans are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the green beans, and pour the coconut aminos sauce over the mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to finish cooking.
If desired, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Stir to incorporate.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
