One Pan Creamy Balsamic Chicken & Green Beans
Description
Chicken breasts are browned briefly in a greased skillet and then combined with fresh green beans. The sauce is prepared by whisking together Greek yogurt, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. This sauce is added to the pan to coat the chicken and green beans, then cooked gently until the chicken is cooked through and the green beans are tender yet retain some crispness.
The sauce offers a creamy texture with a balance of tanginess from balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard, sweetness from honey, and richness from yogurt and olive oil. The green beans provide a fresh, bright contrast in texture and flavor to the tender chicken. Cooking everything in one pan simplifies preparation and cleanup.
This dish can be served as a complete meal on its own or accompanied by a grain like rice or quinoa. The recipe notes mention that green beans can be swapped for other favorite vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, or asparagus to vary the dish.
