Greek Chicken and Green Bean Skillet

Greek Chicken and Green Bean Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts (about 6)
  • Dried Oregano
  • Paprika
  • 3-4 tsp Olive Oil, divided
  • 1/2 medium Onion, sliced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
  • 14.5 oz can Diced Tomatoes with juice
  • 1 lb Green Beans, trimmed
  • Roasted Potatoes, Rice or Pita Bread
  • Feta Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts on each side with a liberal sprinkle of dried oregano and paprika, followed by salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a large skillet or dutch oven (with lid), heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers (you want it hot so the chicken sears and doesn’t stick), add chicken breasts in a single layer.
  3. Sear on one side (without moving) for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute.
  4. Remove chicken from pan (it is not fully cooked through) and set aside.
  5. To the pan, add the remaining 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Add onions and saute until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  6. Deglaze pan with chicken stock, using a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits.
  7. Add tomatoes and bring sauce to a simmer.
  8. Fold in green beans, return chicken to pan nestling in with the beans. Cover up and continue to simmer over medium-low for about 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  9. Serve with roasted potatoes, rice, or pita bread with plenty of feta cheese.

Meal Prep Tips:

  • Wash and trim the green beans up to 4 days in advance. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container or zip top bag with a paper towel  to retain moisture.
  • Slice the onion up to 4 days in advance. Keep refrigerated, tightly covered.
  • If serving with rice, steam a batch up to 4 days in advance.
