Instructions
- In a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil, then add the cilantro, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the tomato paste and cook together with the cilantro mixture until well combined and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and water and stir until well blended to create a tomato broth.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the green beans, raw the chicken breast and bay leaves. Season with salt, pepper and 7 Spice and cook covered until the chicken is fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves from the pot and discard. Remove the chicken breast from the tomato broth, shred it and return it to the pot. Simmer for an additional 20 minute to allow the broth to thicken and flavors to settle.
- Serve over traditional Lebanese rice pilaf and sprinkle fresh cilantro for garnish.
