Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation of Ingredients

    Start by preparing all the ingredients. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Finely chop the lemongrass, garlic, and onion. Remove the ends from the green beans and cut them in half. Slice the red chili into thin circles, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped lemongrass, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Chili

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent. Add the sliced red chili and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Add Green Beans

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the green beans to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.

  6. 6

    Final Seasoning

    Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Mix everything well to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
