Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 1 pound green beans
• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, and cornstarch to create a sauce. Stir well and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and finely julienne the ginger.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 6

Add the chicken strips to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary, and toss in the minced garlic and julienned ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet still crispy.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and everything to heat through.

Step 11

Drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil (if using) and give it a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Remove from heat and serve hot alongside steamed rice or noodles.
