Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk 1 cup jellied cranberry sauce (from a 14-oz. can), 3 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar, 2 tsp. finely grated orange zest, ¼ cup fresh orange juice, 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil, and 2 Tbsp. soy sauce in a small bowl until jelly is mostly dissolved (some lumps are okay); set sauce aside.

  2. Toss 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved crosswise, thinly sliced against the grain, 1 Tbsp. cornstarch, and remaining 1 Tbsp. soy sauce in a medium bowl until chicken is well coated; set aside.

  3. Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over high. Cook 1 lb. green beans, trimmed, tossing very occasionally, until tender and deeply browned in spots, 6–8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a large bowl.
