HONEY LEMON CHICKEN AND GREEN BEANS STIR FRY By yellowblissroad.com
Lemon chicken is just one of those dinner recipes that just about everyone enjoys. It’s always been a favorite of mine, although the same old thing can get boring. Introducing the opposite of boring – Honey Lemon Chicken and Green Beans Stir Fry. This dish has got it all! Crunchy green beans, tender, flavorful chicken, and a sweet and tart honey lemon stir fry sauce that coats every bite.
Prep time: Cook time: Total time:
Yield: 3-4 Servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (2 large chicken breasts) 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar salt and pepper Olive oil 12 ounces green beans trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces (about 2 cups) 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth Juice and zest from 1 large lemon 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions:
Combine the chicken, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar in a large zip-top bag, and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. (If no time to marinate, just toss the chicken, soy sauce and vinegar in a small bowl and let sit while you prep the rest of the recipe).
In a small bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together until combined (cornstarch should no longer be visible). Set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans and season with a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes, until beans are bright green but still crisp. Transfer to a large plate or bowl and set aside.
