Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups green beans (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim the green beans, cutting them into 1-inch pieces. Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the green beans and stir to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, chicken broth, corn starch, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken and green beans.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until green beans are tender yet vibrant. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve hot as is or over rice or noodles.
