Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb green beans (455 g)
2 cups cherry tomatoes (400 g), halved
½ cup basil pesto (115 g)
Instructions
Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook thighs 5–6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Toss in green beans and sauté for 5 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until tomatoes blister and green beans are tender (about 3–4 more minutes).
