Classic Skillet Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 cup low sodium chicken broth

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
2. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
3. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate. Add the sliced onion and carrots to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the green beans and return the chicken to the skillet.
5. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through according to safe internal temperature guidelines and the vegetables are tender.
6. Taste the broth and vegetables and adjust the seasoning to preference. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and pan juices.
