Description
A delightful recipe combining tender chicken with sweet and tangy honey garlic sauce and crisp green beans, perfect for cozy fall evenings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a shallow dish, pour the marinade over, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, remove the chicken from the marinade, and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Add the green beans: Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes, then sauté for 3-4 minutes after removing the chicken.
- Combine and serve: Slice the chicken, return it to the skillet with the green beans, and toss together before serving warm.
Notes
Marination is key for flavor. Use fresh green beans for the best texture.
