Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce. Set aside.
Place the cut chicken pieces and trimmed green beans onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss everything together directly on the pan until evenly coated.
Spread the chicken and green beans into a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and beans. Gently toss everything on the pan to coat.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the sauce has thickened and caramelized slightly.
Serve immediately directly from the pan.
Notes
For crispier green beans, you can roast them separately for 10 minutes before adding the chicken and sauce.
If you use chicken thighs instead of breasts, increase the total cooking time by about 5 minutes.
You can substitute low-sodium tamari for soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free.
