Honey Chicken Bites with Charred Green Beans
I mean HONEY CHICKEN people! What can be better and its served with charred green beans cooked in the same pan.
Yes, another ONE pan meal. I love how quickly this meal comes together, the sweet and salty sauce along with the little chicken bites all coated in goodness.
Do you love green beans?
My husband doesn’t love green beans as much as I BUT he couldn’t stop eating this one. The sauce isn’t too sweet – love how coconut aminos makes it a little salty and the tapioca makes the chicken brown and thickens the sauce. Do you love green beans?
Since the ingredients list is short and small, this makes for a great weeknight meal. I love how the green beans are coated with the sauce – forcing you to have seconds!

Sesame Honey Chicken with Charred Green Beans
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless chicken breast, chopped into small 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 coconut aminos
- 1 heaping tablespoon tapioca powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 large shallots, sliced
- 24 oz fresh green beans, cleaned and trimmed
- 2–3 scallions, sliced
- 1/2 red pepper flakes
Sesame Honey Sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup liquid aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Instructions
- In a small/medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, coconut aminos and tapioca powder. Mix so that the chicken is coated.
- Using a cast iron pan, wok or other heavy duty pan, heat it on high heat. Add the sesame oil. Once the pan is smoky hot, add the chicken in a even layer. Don’t mix or turn over for at least 3 minutes. You want that side of the chicken to brown. Turn over + mix the chicken up. Cook until the chicken is JUST cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate or bowl.
- Return the pan to the heat. Add the shallots and green beans. Continue to cook on high heat, letting the green beans sit in the pan for 2 minute stretches – this helps them brown up nicely. Once the green beans are softened and have browned or started to brown, add in the chicken + Sesame Honey Sauce. Toss with tongs so that everything is combine and coated with the sauce.
- Heat up for 1-2 minutes and turn off the heat. Garnish with scallions and red pepper flakes.
Notes
**Tip – I used a cast iron pan. Highly recommend using one – its heat evenly + also helps char the green beans. Mine is a Lodge Cast Iron pan.
