So besides being dishwasher friendly, this dinner actually tasted REALLY good. I rarely say this about chicken (Remember yesterday? I do tend to say this a lot about the chicken recipes I share here, but I also make a lot of poor tasting chicken that I do not share) but I actually wanted seconds after I finished my serving. I WANTED SECONDS...OF CHICKEN. If that doesn't make you want to try this recipe, then I don't know what will. OK but also, to be completely honest, I used this an additional plate. But otherwise, that's it!
ABOUT
Serves: 4
Cook time: 45 mins - 1 hour
How difficult was this for me? Not bad!
INGREDIENTS
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I only used 2 but trust me, use 4)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Italian dressing (I used Kraft Light Italian)
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1/8 crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb fresh green beans w/ ends trimmed (asparagus is a good alternative!)
1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
1 red pepper, sliced thin
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, whisk together Italian dressing, balsamic vinegar, honey & red pepper flakes, set aside. I swore I took a picture, but apparently I did not.
Heat olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Slice chicken into big tenderloin pieces. Season with salt & pepper.
Place chicken evenly in skillet. Cooking each side for 7-8 minutes, until cooked all the way through, no pink.


Once cooked, add half of the Italian dressing mix & rotate the chicken to fully coat it. Let chicken cook an additional 1-2 mins in the marinade.
Remove chicken & set aside.
Without draining any of the juices in the skillet, add the carrots & green beans. Season with salt & pepper. Cook veggies for approx. 4 minutes while stirring frequently.
Transfer veggies to the same plate the chicken is on, leaving the dressing in the skillet. Add remaining dressing & let cook for 1-2 mins constantly stirring to thicken up the sauce.

Throw the chicken & veggies back into the skillet & toss thoroughly so the chicken & veggies get evenly coated. I let the chicken cook an additional 2-3 mins.

That's it! Serve immediately!
Enjoy!
