Some of my favorite meals are the take out fake out meals that are loaded with all the flavors but come with less calories and cash than your regular Chinese takeout orders. This is probably the easiest fake out recipe I have created and it’s one of my favorites! The hot honey paired with the garlic and soy is pure perfection! I love the freshness of the green beans with the big, tender chunks of chicken! It doesn’t get any better than this! Add this recipe to your next dinner and a movie night and DIVE IN!
