Equipment

  • 1 12" Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1+½ Pounds Chicken Breast
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Balsamic Dressing

  • ¼ Cup Fresh Basil, Chopped
  • 3-5 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Vegetables

  • 3-4 Cups Green Beans
  • 1+½ Cups Cherry Tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding the chicken breast into a bowl with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Mix until chicken is evenly coated.
  • Preheat the cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the simple balsamic dressing by adding fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into a small bowl. Whisk together with a fork or small whisk.
  • Finally, add the green beans, tomatoes, and dressing to the cast iron skillet with the chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes. (Or until green beans are tender!)

Notes

Expert Tips

  • By browning the chicken on the stovetop, it will give it a better flavor and require less cooking time in the oven.
  • Do not overcook the chicken, bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken is done.
  • I suggest using a cast iron skillet so you can cook on the stovetop and then place it straight into the oven. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can also transfer the chicken and veggies into a ceramic baking dish.
  • Make sure the skillet is preheated before adding in the chicken breast.
