Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cubed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups green beans trimmed

Method
 

  1. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and chicken broth together in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove.
  3. Add the remaining oil and the green beans and stir-fry 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the chicken, pour in the sauce, and toss until sticky and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve over rice.

Notes

Six cloves sounds like a lot, but it mellows into pure sweet-garlic magic as it cooks.
