Chicken with beans, Chinese style
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For cooking, I use two-colored string beans, which I boil in advance. I always add soy sauce, a mix of peppers, and sesame seeds. You can also add other vegetables to the dish (for example, bell pepper or carrot), making it more filling and nutritious. The finished dish can be served at the table.
