Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 pound green beans ends trimmed
  • 6-8 dried or fresh chilies or to taste

For the stir-fry sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

To Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts to garnish
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

OPTIONAL:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all stir-fry sauce ingredients. (1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons chili paste, 1 tablespoon raw honey, and salt and pepper)
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a skillet or wok over medium/high heat.
  • Add the 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (chunks) and 2 garlic cloves (minced), and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is almost done. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining sesame oil to the pan and stir in the 1 pound green beans and 6-8 dried or fresh chilies. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  • Add the chicken and the sauce, and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes more, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts and 2 tablespoons sliced green onions. Serve with 2 cups cooked brown rice (divided equally) and enjoy!

Notes

  • Nutrition values include the rice and beans.
  • You may use any rice of your choice. White rice or quinoa will work just fine, too. 
  • Instead of chicken breast, you can use boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
  • The chopped peanuts are optional, so if you don't have any its fine. 
  • Instead of green beans, use any other veggies of your choice.
