Ingredients
- 1.25 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch bites)
- 1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt (kosher)
- 0.25 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 8 black olives (pitted, halved)
- 2 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes (dry-packed, chopped)
Instructions
- Pat chicken bites dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add trimmed green beans and 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth to the same skillet. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, until green beans are tender-crisp.
- Uncover the skillet, increase heat to medium-high. Add the cooked chicken, black olives, and chopped dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine and heat through.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure sun-dried tomatoes are dry-packed, not oil-packed, and check for added sugars. Use them sparingly for a concentrated flavor boost while staying within the sugar limits.
