Lemon and Tomato Chicken image

This is a fairly simple, absolutely delicious recipe that I adapted from a couple of Lemon Chicken recipes that I came across when I was feeling creative. The green beans were somewhat of an afterthought, but I felt that they worked very well in this mixture.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 finely chopped small onion
1/2 cup white wine
10 ounces chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch sugar
2 cups grape tomatoes
2 cups green beans (for this I used a microwavable bag and tossed them in after I'd heated them up)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Then, heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the chicken. Saute on each side for about 4 minutes on medium heat, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. When it is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
  • Add the garlic and onion to the pan and cook for about a minute on medium heat. Then, add the wine, lemon juice, sugar and salt and pepper and cook for about another minute, stirring frequently. Then, add the chicken broth and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half. Turn down the heat and add the tomatoes and green beans and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are wrinkled and squishy. Add the chicken to the pan for the last minute or two to reheat it. This goes really well over hot cooked pasta.
