Chicken and Green Bean Stir Fry

After having this dish at Panda Express, I decided to try my own version at home. My husband loved it.

1 lb chicken breast, cut into thin slices or strips
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 lb fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 small yellow onions, sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Sauce

Mix:

2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Pinch of sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Mix the chicken with some soy sauce just before starting to cook this dish.

In a big skillet, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil , heat it up and cook the green beans for a few minutes without stirring. Then, turn them over or stir and cook for a couple of more minutes. Do not overcook the green beans. They have to be crunchy to the bite. Remove from the skillet. In the same skillet add a little bit more oil and cook the onions just for 1 1/2 minutes.

Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same skillet, once it is hot, add the chicken and let it cook for 2 -3 minutes per side until lightly brown on both sides. Add the sauce ingredients and cook stirring to avoid lumps. Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the green beans and onions. Cook for 1 extra minutes and serve immediately over steamed white rice.
