5Garlic Sesame Chicken and Green Beans
This quick and flavorful dish brings together tender chicken and crisp green beans in a savory sesame garlic sauce.
How to make it
- 1
Slice the chicken thighs into bite sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely. Trim the ends off your fresh green beans.
- 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add a tiny splash of cooking oil if your pan isn't nonstick, then add the chicken pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Add the green beans to the hot skillet. Stir fry for about 3 to 5 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender crisp.
- 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the green beans. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the green beans and garlic. Pour in the coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil. Stir everything well to coat. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and coat all the ingredients.
