Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Asian Chicken and Green Beans, marinated in a flavorful glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 T soy sauce (see notes)
- 3 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 2 T Sriracha Sauce, or more
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 3 T Golden Monkfruit Sweetener
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1/4 cup sugar-free orange marmalade
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see notes)
- 1 lb. fresh green beans (see notes)
- 1 T toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Earlier in the day or the night before, start marinating the chicken. You can marinate this all day while you’re at work if you like.
- Mix together 3 T soy sauce, lime juice, Sriracha Sauce, sugar-free maple syrup, Golden Monkfruit, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
- Trim any fat or undesirable parts from chicken breasts and cut into chunks. (I cut each large breast into 8 pieces to make 4 servings with six pieces of chicken per serving.)
- Put the chicken and 1/2 cup of the marinade into a Ziploc bag and marinate chicken 6 – 8 hours in the refrigerator, storing the extra marinade in the fridge.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat oven to 425F/218C and heat the sheet pan while you prepare the glaze and the green beans.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to a colander placed in the sink.
- Trim both ends of the green beans and cut them in half. Toss the green beans with 1-2 tablespoons of the glaze.
- Remove the hot sheet pan from oven and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
- Arrange green beans in a single layer on the sheet pan and tuck the drained chicken pieces among the beans, spacing them out as much as possible.
- Brush chicken and beans with half the remaining glaze and bake for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove sheet pan. If the chicken has released water, blot it up with a wadded-up paper towel.
- Brush chicken and beans with the remaining glaze and bake 10 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven and blot water again if needed.
- Sprinkle Asian Chicken and Green Beans with toasted sesame seeds and serve hot.
Notes
- Marinate chicken for a richer flavor experience.
- Adjust Sriracha Sauce for preferred spice level.
- Serve with rice for a complete meal.
