Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add chopped onions, bell peppers, and carrots; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in chicken broth; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Stir in green beans and hot pepper; cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serve the chicken mixture over a bed of attiéké, garnished with fresh coriander.
