One Skillet Chicken and Green Beans with Bacon

DmentD
  • 6 strips center-cut bacon (chopped)
  • 1½ LB boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut lengthwise into thin cutlets)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 TBS shallot (minced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1⅛ C low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¾ C crisp white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1½ TSP fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 12 OZ French green beans
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Yields 6 servings.
