Stir fried chicken with green beans

Green beans are one of my all time favorite foods. I love them stir fried in some soy sauce with a side of rice.
Here is a recipe I use often.

Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts. Slice as big or as small as you like. I cut them into large strips.
1/2 tsp each Salt, black pepper, garlic powder. To marinate the chicken.

1 lb fresh green beans, cut if you like.
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup chopped mushrooms.

Soy sauce to taste ( about 2 tbsp)

1- marinate the chicken for about 20-30 mins to 2 hours.
2- in meduim high pan on stove, add a couple tsp olive oil, add chicken when pan is hot.
3- let it cook for 2 mins then flip chicken on the other side.
4- keep stirring chicken until cooked from inside and no longer pink.
5- add the onions, mushrooms and green beans. Stir.
6- after about 5-10 mins (when beans are cooked) add soy sauce and anything else you like to taste.

Serve with rice, bread, salad, or just like that alone.

I love how moist the chicken was, it usually dries up a bit when I do it other ways.

I had extra chicken leftover so I sliced it up and saving it for lunch, chicken salad tomorrow!

Place raw fillets in pan.
Sprinkle the spices on top of the fillets.
Let sizzle for 2-3 mins. Then flip.

Add the onions and peppers and cover for about 3 mins. Fish should be moist and cooked, peppers lightly steamed and crunchy. If you like it a bit more brown u can leave in for a couple more mins but make sure fish doesn’t get too flaky and break up.

Add to plate and gobble up. 🙂
Best served with a salad, or a side of brown rice.
I ate it by itself with no sides. I was too hungry lol.
