  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
– 1/4 cup honey
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Creating Honey Garlic Chicken and Green Beans is straightforward. Follow these steps for a successful dish:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger (if using). Set aside.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.
5. Add the Green Beans: Once the chicken is nearly cooked, add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beans are tender but still crisp.
6. Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Stir to combine everything. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
7. Check for Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
8. Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

The combination of colors and flavors will make this dish a feast for the eyes and the taste buds!
