How to make that TastyBurp

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Baked Chicken:

   • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
   • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
   • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to let the chicken brown.

3. While the chicken is baking, prepare the Sesame Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes (if using).
   • Set the sauce aside.

4. Steam the Green Beans:

   • In a large pot or a steamer, steam the trimmed green beans for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. You can also blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then shock them in ice water to preserve their vibrant green color.

5. In a separate skillet, prepare the garlic-infused olive oil for the green beans:

   • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

6. Add the steamed green beans to the skillet with the garlic-infused olive oil. Toss the green beans to coat them in the flavorful oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7. Serve:

   • Plate the baked chicken and drizzle it with the Asian Sesame Sauce.
   • Serve the garlic-infused green beans as a flavorful side dish alongside the chicken.
   • Enjoy that TastyBurp!
