Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful Chicken Green Bean Stir-Fry that's sure to please everyone at the table!
Equipment
- Large skillet or wok
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup vegetable oil (plus 2 tbsp or more as needed)
- 2 count bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup steamed green beans (in a bag)
- 1 /2 tbsp garlic cloves, minced
- 1 /4 tsp ginger (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (add more for taste)
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 /8 tsp sesame oil
- 1 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Rub the mixture into the chicken pieces. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken and mix until all pieces are well coated.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken, turning often, until it is crispy and cooked through. If the pan seems dry, add more oil as needed. Once done, set the chicken aside and repeat with the remaining batches.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and sauté until they are soft, or to your desired tenderness. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the steamed green beans, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, ginger (if using), and crushed red pepper. Stir everything together until the chicken and green beans are well coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately over rice for a delicious meal!
Notes
For added flavor, feel free to increase the amount of garlic powder or crushed red pepper according to your taste. You can substitute the green beans with other vegetables like broccoli or snap peas if desired.
