Description

This is the kind of meal prep you’ll actually look forward to eating. Juicy pesto-coated chicken, blistered tomatoes, and crisp green beans come together in one skillet for a no-fuss, flavor-packed lunch or dinner. It’s healthy, hearty, and ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

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).

Add Pesto: Slice chicken and return to pan with pesto. Toss everything together until coated and heated through.

Serve or Store: Divide into 4 containers for meal prep or enjoy immediately.
