From: Gina Homolka @ www.skinnytaste.com/
This quick and easy chicken dish is cooked in a white wine sauce with string beans and bacon, all in one skillet. You can modify this basic recipe using any veggies you like!
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 Servings
INGREDIENTS:
4 strips center-cut bacon, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut lengthwise into thin cutlets
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
8 ounces French green beans
DIRECTIONS:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the bacon and sauté until brown and crisp.
Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
Discard the majority of the bacon grease, leaving a very thin coating in the pan.
Season both sides of the chicken pieces with 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper and add to the skillet.
Cook 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
Add the shallots to the now empty skillet and sauté 1 minute, scraping up brown bits.
Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.
Add the broth, wine and thyme and stir.
Add the green beans, increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and the green beans are crisp tender, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the chicken breasts and green beans to a serving platter.
Season beans with 1/8 teaspoon salt and fresh pepper.
Pour chicken juices into sauce with 1/8 teaspoon salt, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour sauce over the chicken and green beans and top with chopped bacon.
