Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless, skinless - cut in cubes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)

- 2 cups green beans (trimmed and cut in bite-sized pieces (fresh or frozen))
- ½ cup chicken broth

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar Nakano Natural brand

- To the hot pan where the chicken was browning, stir in onion and garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute until tender, about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add green beans and saute until crisp-tender and bright greeen, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in reserved sauce to pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from bottom of the pan. Bring heat to high until liquid starts to bubble. Cover pan with lid and reduce to low. Return chicken to pan and simmer for 5 mintues or until green beans are cooked through. Adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with minced scallions if you wish.
