Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾ inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons homemade hot honey or store-bought
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon adobo seasoning
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive, avocado, etc.
- 12 ounce green beans trimmed + cut into pieces
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- MIX: In a glass measuring cup, combine the hot honey, with black pepper, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and 2 tablespoon of water.
- TOSS: Combine the all-purpose flour, ground turmeric, garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, adobo seasoning in a bowl and toss. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss until all of the chicken is coated in the flour mixture.
- SAUTE: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces (do so in batches if you have a smaller skillet) and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes flipping about halfway through. Add the green beans and sauté for another 1-2 minutes or until the green beans turn a vibrant green.
- POUR: Stir and drizzle the honey sauce over the chicken. Toss the chicken so that it's evenly coated in the sauce. Let the sauce thicken in the skillet for a 60-90 seconds.
- SERVE: Remove the chicken from heat. Drizzle with rice vinegar and serve in bowls over rice with lime wedges to squeeze on top!
