====Ingredients====
  *Jellied cranberry sauce: 1 cup (from a 14oz can)
  *Unseasoned rice vinegar: 3 tbsp
  *Orange zest: 2 tsp finely grated
  *Orange juice: 1/4 cup (fresh)
  *Toasted sesame oil: 2 tsp
  *Soy sauce: 3 tbsp, divided

  *Chicken breast: 1 lb boneless skinless, halved and thinly sliced
  *Cornstarch: 1 tbsp

  *Vegetable oil: 4 tbsp, divided

  *Green beans: 1 lb, trimmed

  *Garlic: 6 cloves, minced
  *Ginger: 1/2 inch piece, minced

  *Salt: to taste

  *Orange zest: sliced, as garnish
  *Toasted sesame seeds: as garnish


====Notes====
  *Serve with white rice
  *Make sure to use GF soy sauce
  *2 oranges works well for the amounts you need
  *If you only find whole berry cranberry sauce, put it in the food processor until smooth

====Instructions====
  -Whisk cranberry sauce, vinegar, grated orange zest, orange juice, sesame oil, and 2 tbsp soy sauce in a small bowl until jelly is mostly dissolved
  -Toss chicken, cornstarch, and remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce in a medium bowl until chicken is well-coated
  -Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook green beans, tossing very occasionally, until tender and deeply browned in spots, about 6-8 minutes. Use tongs to transfer to a bowl
  -Add remaining 2 tbsp to the same skillet or wok and arrange chicken in a single layer. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl with green beans
  -If pan is dry, add more vegetable oil (up to 2 tbsp). Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved sauce and cook until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Add green beans and chicken and toss to coat. Salt to taste
  -Put in bowls with white rice and garnish with sliced orange zest and sesame seeds
