Serves 4.

Ingredients

1 lb, boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces chicken thighs
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 clove, minced garlic
1/2 tsp, grated ginger
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces green beans
to taste salt
to taste black pepper
for garnish sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 garlic clove minced, and 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger until the honey dissolves.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 1 lb chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add 1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces, to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are crisp-tender and slightly charred at the edges.
Step 4: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the soy glaze mixture over the top. Toss to coat the chicken and beans evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
Step 5: Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
