-
Preheat Oven

Prepare Chicken and Green Beans
In a large baking dish, combine 1.5 lbs (700g) chicken breasts, 1 lb (450g) fresh green beans, 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the honey garlic sauce for maximum flavor. -
Bake

Uncover and Baste
Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the sauce from the bottom of the dish, and return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender.Basting ensures the chicken stays moist and absorbs all the flavors of the sauce. -
