Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 oz fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp butter optional, for finishing

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Brown chicken 4–5 minutes, stirring so pieces cook evenly; remove to a plate.
  3. Add green beans and a splash of broth; cover and steam 3–4 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
  4. Stir garlic into beans for 30 seconds, then return chicken to skillet.
  5. Whisk mustard, honey, vinegar, and remaining broth; pour over chicken and beans. Simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in butter if using, adjust salt and pepper, and serve.
