Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Step 2: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Step 3: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Step 4: Stir in the green beans and cherry tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
- Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a complete meal or alongside your favorite grain. Enjoy!
Notes
- For storage, keep any leftover Green Bean Chicken Skillet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days to maintain freshness. When reheating, gently warm the skillet over low heat on the stove or use a microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. This dish pairs wonderfully with cooked quinoa or brown rice for a wholesome meal that adds extra texture and flavor. For an added burst of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance its taste.
