In this Post: Everything you need for Chicken and Green Bean Stir-Fry

Hands down, one of our weekly go-to recipes is always some variation of an Asian inspired stir-fry. Fast, easy, and full of protein and other nutrients, you really can’t go wrong! This week I made my Chicken and Green Bean Stir-Fry. Of course, green beans can easily be swapped for asparagus, carrots, red peppers, or any other crunchy veggie you happen to have on hand. That’s the best part about stir-fries, you can use almost anything you have in your fridge! So if you’ve had some veggies sitting in that bottom drawer of your fridge that needs to be eaten, odds are you can use it in a stir-fry.

Ingredients

  • Chicken ،: High in protein and low in calories, chicken ، is an affordable and accessible way to get protein in your diet.
  • Green beans: Even when cooked, they’ll keep a bit of a crunch and snap that’s satisfying, while tasting somewhat gr،y.
  • Chicken broth: Adds volume to the sauce as well as mild or full-،ied flavor.
  • Hoisin sauce: Salty like many Asian sauces, ،isin also adds a nice bit of sweetness to the sauce.
  • Soy sauce: A great base for Asian-inspired sauces, it adds a great salty, umami flavor to the dish.
  • Rice wine vinegar: Less bitter than regualr vinegar, it’s mild and even somewhat sweet in flavor.
  • Ginger: Using fresh ، will add a bright, somewhat peppery and sweet flavor that pairs wonderfully with the garlic.
  • Sesame oil: A strong nutty, toasted flavor that is reminiscent of Asian cuisine.
  • Garlic: Pungent and strong in flavor, it sweetens up a bit once the sauce is added to the stir-fry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long s،uld you cook green beans?

You want to cook green beans until tender but still crisp. Depending on the met،d (boiling, sauteeing, or roasting) the timing will vary. Usually anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. Watch the color, remove from heat once the green color s،s to dull.

What does cornstarch do to raw chicken?

Coating your chicken in cornstarch before cooking gives it a bit of a crispy coating when it cooks. It’s a met،d I like to use sometimes, but not with all recipes.

Is it better to blanch green beans before sauteing?

No, it doesn’t make much of a difference. It might make them more green, but you can easily skip blan،g before cooking.
