Description

A quick and vibrant stir fry featuring chicken and crisp green beans, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating your vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add your sliced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. As the chicken cooks, season it with salt, pepper, and grated ginger. Once the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, toss in your sliced onion, bell pepper, and trimmed green beans. Sauté for around 3-5 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
  4. Next, mix in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Return your cooked chicken to the skillet with the veggies, pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss everything together.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Finally, serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an added pop of flavor.
