Stir Fry Italian-style Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Petite Green Beans

italian chicken french green bean stir fry

More turkey, stuffing or yams, anyone? Not me! At least for a few weeks. As much as I love a traditional Thanksgiving menu, I hate having leftovers that last into the new week. So my answer is to pull some staple ingredients from my freezer and create a quick, healthy one-pot meal that reboots my palate.

This stir fry combines one of my favorite proteins (chicken breast) with sun-dried tomatoes (which I adore) and petite green beans. Though I am not a traditional green bean fan, I really enjoy petite green beans.  They’re so “petite” and when properly seasoned with fresh black pepper and olive oil they are delicioso!

Stir Fry Italian-style Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Petite Green Beans

Ingredients

extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh black pepper

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook the green beans - just covered in water - on medium high. Let boil for about 4 minutes, stirring regularly. Then blanch the green beans by adding cold water to halt the cooking process and keep the beans as green as possible. Drain the water from the pan and move it back to the stove top.

Add the chicken breast strips and sun-dried tomatoes. Generously pour olive oil over the contents and stir to coat. Heat on medium-high until chicken starts to sear, stirring regularly.

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
