Equipment

  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast - diced (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil - for cooking
  • 4 cloves garlic - minced (fresh garlic adds great flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger - minced (for a hint of warmth)
  • 1 cup green beans - trimmed (fresh is best)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce - or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce - adds depth of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol - to balance the savory
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves - essential for that Thai flavor
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes - optional, for spice

Instructions
 

  • Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in green beans and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
  • Add soy sauce, fish sauce, erythritol, and red chili flakes. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and toss in fresh basil leaves until just wilted.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier version, add more red chili flakes or fresh Thai chilies. You can substitute green beans with broccoli or zucchini for variety.
This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
