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 boil over high heat. 
2. Add green beans and cook uncovered for 4 minutes, or until tender crisp. Drain and refresh under cold water. Set aside. 
3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until brown about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Wipe wok with paper towel; add remaining oil and heat until slightly smoking. Add garlic, green onions and ginger. Cook about 30 seconds. 
5. Return chicken to wok, add green beans and soy sauce.
6. Stir-fry for 3 -4 minutes. 
7. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
