Indonesian Chicken with Green Beans



Serving: Serves 8
Total Time: 45 minutes




6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
4 tablespoons olive oil
10 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger root, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 pound green beans, chopped
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar (use substitute)
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water




In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute the chicken in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until cooked through. Set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the garlic, ginger and onion until soft. Add the green beans. Stir until the beans turn bright green. Add the lime (or lemon) juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, turmeric, salt and 1/4 cup of the water. Slowly add the remaining water if necessary, although the sauce should not be watery. Add the chicken pieces and stir until the chicken is completely covered with sauce. Serve over rice.
