Ingredients

For The Chicken

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp salt
½ tsp red pepper flakes

For The Sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp dry sherry
1 tbsp sugar

For The Veggies

2 tbsp Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt, divided
12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
½ medium onion, sliced
1 tbsp garlic, minced

Instructions

For the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the remaining chicken ingredients and toss until evenly coated. Set aside.

For the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

For the Vegetables

Heat a large wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt. Once melted, add the green beans and onion. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until lightly charred and tender-crisp.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt to the wok. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through.
Return the green beans and onion to the wok, then pour in the prepared sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce slightly thickens. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer softer green beans, just cover the wok with a lid and let them steam for a few additional minutes until they reach your desired tenderness.
