Chicken and Sun Dried Tomatoes with Green Beans. Chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces and sauteed with garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and green beans.
I really enjoyed how this recipe turned out. It has two of my favorite ingredients: green beans and sun dried tomatoes. This recipe was a bit of a treat because sun dried tomatoes can be a little pricey, so I do not always have them in the house.
The beans in this chicken and sun dried tomatoes recipe are from the garden. You will notice two different varieties in the picture: green and yellow. I enjoy mixing up the green beans I grow. My kids especially like the yellow, purple, and red varieties.

For this Chicken and Sun Dried Tomatoes recipe I am using boneless chicken breasts. You could also use boneless pork loin, boneless turkey breasts, sirloin steak, or sausage. The recipe would work great with any of these options.
If you do not like green beans, this recipe translates well with spinach, chard, kale, asparagus, broccoli, or zucchini. Cooking time will vary depending on the vegetables you choose. Experiment with ingredients and find the best vegetables.
Sun dried tomatoes can be expensive, and they are not for everyone. Feel free to use diced tomatoes, fresh sliced tomatoes, or even roasted red peppers if that is the case. Or leave out the tomatoes entirely and add another ingredient such as artichokes, olives, or mushrooms. Invent the dish that works best for you.
