Before you cook
- Before starting, wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. Rinse fresh produce under running water and use clean utensils.
- Check every packaged ingredient label for dietary requirements and allergens, including cross-contact notices. Choose products with no additional allergenic ingredients beyond the warnings listed here; otherwise these ingredient-based recommendations no longer apply. Listed tags apply only to the specified ingredients; they are not allergy-safe guarantees.
- Refrigerate perishable ingredients until needed. Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours (within 1 hour above 90°F/32°C); reheat leftovers to 74°C/165°F.
- Thaw raw meat or seafood in the refrigerator. Use a separate board and utensils for raw ingredients; wash hands and clean and sanitize tools and surfaces afterward. Never put cooked food on a plate that held raw food. Check internal temperature with a clean food thermometer in the thickest part of each piece.
- Do not rinse raw meat or poultry; splashes can spread bacteria. Cooking times are estimates: the required internal temperature controls doneness.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces raw boneless skinless chicken breast (340 g, cut into 1/2-inch strips Thawed in the refrigerator; not frozen.)
- 3/4 cup dry long-grain white rice (Check package labels; use the specified dietary version and check additional allergens and cross-contact notices.)
- 2 cups green beans (trimmed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Cooking instructions
- Combine the dry long-grain white rice with 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, cook on low for 15 minutes and rest off heat for 5 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high. Add the raw boneless skinless chicken breast and fine salt; cook for 6–8 minutes, turning, until every strip reaches 74°C/165°F. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the green beans, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup water. Cover for 4 minutes, then uncover and cook for 2 minutes until tender.
- Return the chicken and its cooked juices to the skillet for 1 minute. Serve alongside the fluffed rice.
