In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces seasoned with black pepper and sear until golden brown and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Remove chicken and set aside.

Add the green beans to the same skillet with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes.

Remove the lid and sauté for another 2 minutes until the water is gone and the beans are tender-crisp.

Pour the honey-soy mixture into the pan and return the chicken to the skillet.

Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes until the sauce has thickened into a sticky glaze.

Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately over rice.
