Directions:First, prepare kung pao sauce. Mix together minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, chili garlic paste, and honey. Set aside.
Next, prepare chicken breast by thinly slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium/high heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes to partially cook. Then, remove from heat and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and then add green beans. Saute for 3-4 minutes on medium/high heat. once green beans are partially cooked, add chicken back in and mix.
Place the lid on the skillet and let steam for 2-3 minutes. This will really help cook the green beans and ensure that the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the lid and mix. Then, scoot chicken and green beans to one side of the pan and add the sauce to the other. Sprinkle around 2 teaspoons of cornstarch on top of the sauce and whisk over medium/high heat.
Mix sauce with veggies and chicken.
Serve over your favorite grain with sesame seeds and peanuts. |
