Chicken & Bean Stir-Fry

Like most vegetables, green beans are a good source of fibre, potassium and folate. They contain anti-oxidants similar to those found in green tea and are also an excellent source of protein, iron and zinc.

Ingredients

• 200g green beans 
• 500g skinless, chicken breasts, cut in strips lengthwise
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon salt reduced soy sauce 
• Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Method

1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil over high heat.
2. Add green beans and cook uncovered for 4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry for about 8 minutes, until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Wipe wok clean with paper towel. Add remaining oil and heat until lightly smoking.
5. Add garlic, green onions, and ginger; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Return chicken to the wok. Add green beans and soy sauce.
7. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until well coated and heated through.
8. Serve hot with rice. Enjoy!
