Instructions:

1. Prep the green beans first, I like to lightly toast them in a little bit of oil so they remain crunchy. In the pan that you plan to cook the chicken in, add your chopped green beans and toast them until bright green in color. Once toasted, set aside in a bowl.

2. Prepare the sauce next, add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together until there are no lumps left.

3. In another bowl whisk together the flour, arrowroot powder, and seasonings of your choice. I like to season with just garlic salt and pepper, the sauce should be the main attraction for flavor. Once whisked add the mixture to a plastic bag, along with the cubed chicken. Shake the bag to evenly coat.

4. In the same pan that you toasted the green beans, add your coated chicken along with the olive oil. Allow the chicken to cook to full temp and get golden on both sides. Once that is achieved, add the sauce to the pan and simmer for about 5 minutes.

5. After the sauce simmers, add the green beans. Toss and enjoy!
