Chicken With Green Beans & Capsicum

Ok so at the moment, my photographer is off on holiday :p sooo the next few posts wont have step by step photos, just the main one taken with my dodgy photo skills but i'm sure you'll cope :P

Had some fresh green beans from the garden which we didnt know what to do with so this is the result...Enjoy!

Ingredients:

750g Chicken Breast Cubes
1 Cup Sliced Green Beans
1 Roasted and Peeled Capsicum Cubed (Available at most supermarkets, keep a jar of these in your fridge at all times!!! They come in handy often)
1 Tbsp Soya Sauce
1 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
2 Tsp Garlic
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Fresh Pepper
1/4 Cup Cream
2 Tbsp Sesame Seeds

Method:

Marinate chicken with Soya sauce, Hoisin sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a wok or frying pan. Stirfry chicken till just cooked. "Blanch" the beans by pouring boiling water over them and leave to sit for about 4 minutes then drain and pour cold water over them. Stir through beans and capsicum into the chicken and simmer.

When sauce looks thick, Stir through cream, bring to the boil and turn off. In a pan, dry roast sesame seeds until they release their oil and start to brown. Use to garnish the chicken.

Serve with rice :)
