Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2-3 Thai bird chilies sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup green beans trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  3. Add the minced garlic and sliced chilies to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
