Chicken Basil Stir Fry


This.is.so.good.

Level: Easy
Taste: Yummmm.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lime (2 tablespoons lime juice) 
  • 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1" chunks 
  • 1 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey 
  • 12oz trimmed green beans, each cut in half 
  • 2 tablespoons water 
  • 2 cloves garlic or 1/2 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp crushed ginger
  • 1 cup or package of fresh basil leaves
  • Cooked brown rice

1) Mix the chicken, lime, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Let the mixture marinate while you cut the beans. 

2) Heat some oil on the pan at medium-high heat, add in the beans & water, and let cook until the beans are tender (cooks faster if you put a lid on the pan).

3) Remove the beans. In the same pan, add the chicken and let simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and put the lid on for about ten minutes. 

4) Add the beans & basil to the chicken. Mix and serve with brown rice.
