  1. 1

    Heat half the canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the garlic and chile peppers in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken to the wok. Stir in half the soy sauce and half the cumin with the chicken mixture; cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, keeping some drippings in the skillet, and return the skillet to the heat.

  2. 2

    Heat the remaining oil in the skillet with the retained drippings. Stir the onion with the remaining soy sauce and cumin into the oil mixture; cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the onion mixture; cook and stir until the tomatoes start to soften, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Return the chicken mixture to the wok; add the green beans and vinegar. Cook and stir until the green beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and sprinkle the cilantro over the mixture; toss to combine.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
