Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or frying pan
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 4 thighs chicken (boneless, skinless) About 1.5 pounds total.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes About 1 pint.
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup green beans Trimmed.
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 bunch fresh basil leaves For garnish, optional.

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, and green beans. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the balsamic mixture over the top.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  • Once done, remove from heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables on plates, drizzling extra sauce from the pan over the top. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

If you prefer, you can substitute chicken breasts for thighs.
Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini or asparagus.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a tangier flavor, consider adding more balsamic vinegar to the sauce.
