Ingredients
 

  • 3/4 cup chicken broth divided
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 pound green beans trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons high heat cooking oil
  • 1-1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Asian Seasoning or salt and black pepper amount as desired

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or stir-fry pan on high heat, bring the remaining chicken broth to a boil. Add the prepared green beans. Stirring often, cook until the beans are crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and set aside.
  • Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Add oil and heat over high heat.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until they are cooked through and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Season with Asian Seasoning or salt and black pepper.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  • Add the green beans to the skillet, and cook 1 minute.
  • Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and beans, and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet, and cook an additional minute or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • If desired, garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds. Serve over rice, noodles, or zoodles.

Notes

  • Slice chicken when it's slightly frozen. This will make it easier for your knife to slice thin cuts.
  • Go against the grain. When slicing the chicken, cut against the grain. This will result in super-tender chicken pieces.
  • Prep your ingredients. This stir-fry recipe is quick-cooking! Be sure to have all of your ingredients prepped and at the ready to use once you start. It'll come together in no time at all.
  • Double the sauce. If you like it extra saucy, double the sauce ingredients and add 1 tsp more of cornstarch.
  • Serve with rice. This delicious dish should be served with something to soak up the delicious sauce - our favorite is this 3 Ingredient Savory Rice.
Storage Notes: 
If you've got leftovers, lucky you - you've got dinner for another night! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheat on the stove over medium heat, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, when you're ready to enjoy. Don't forget to serve alongside fresh rice, noodles, or even quinoa!
