Skillet Chicken with Green Beans
This recipe takes tender bites of chicken breast and pairs them with crisp green beans, tender cannellini beans, and sweet cherry tomatoes. By searing the chicken right in the skillet with garlic and letting everything simmer down in a splash of broth, the natural starches from the beans build a light, savory pan sauce that coats every single bite.
