Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Trim the ends off the green beans.

  3. 3

    Mince the garlic cloves.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create the sauce.

  5. 5

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  6. 6

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the green beans and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the green beans are tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.

  7. 7

    Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and green beans. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats everything.

  8. 8

    Stir in the fresh parsley and thyme just before serving.
