Since Chris is gone, I've been slacking on making dinner this week. It's really the only time I don't feel guilty about not cooking, since I like to have a home-cooked meal on the table as often as possible when he's home. This chicken meal is easy to prepare (even with a baby attached to my hip), and is jam-packed with Asian flavors. It's a good one to add to the rotation since it's somewhat healthy, too. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Add green beans and cook for three minutes. Remove from water and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Once cooked through, add the soy sauce mixture. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and stir, letting the mixture return to a simmer for about a minute, or until thickens. Add green beans and stir to combine. Serve over rice.
