Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the 12 oz chicken pieces, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 lightly beaten egg, 2 tbsp corn starch, and 1 tbsp canola oil. Mix until the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil and heat until shimmering.
  • Add the coated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (about 4–6 minutes). Transfer the chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the 2 cups trimmed fresh green beans. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the 16 oz baby portabello mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, until the green beans and mushrooms are tender.
  • Stir in 1 clove minced garlic and 1 tsp ginger; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add 2 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar to the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Heat together for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat and serve immediately.

If you would like the sauce to be thicker, dissolve 1 tbsp of cornstarch into 1 tbsp of water and mix in when you add in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.
