String Bean Chicken Skillet image

I started to prepare a chicken stir-fry one day and discovered I was out of frozen snow peas. So I tossed in green beans instead with a few leftover wax beans for color. I've been making the recipe this way ever since.-Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The chicken was also a bit dry. I probably wouldn't make this dish again.

I'm not a huge fan of string beans, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was juicy and the string beans were tender. The sauce was also very flavorful. I would definitely make this dish again.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the string beans were still slightly crunchy. The sauce was also very flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a great meal.

This string bean chicken skillet was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the string beans were perfectly crisp. I loved the addition of the bacon, which added a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this dish agai
