Chicken Milano


My husband is an amazing cook and is always finding amazing recipes for us to try. Last night he did this one and it is already one of my favorites!!

Ingredient 
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon basil, crushed
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper (just a pinch, add more if needed after it is done)
1 can (14 1/2 oz) Italian Style Stewed Tomatoes
1 can (16 oz) Cut green Italian beans or Lake cut green beans, drained
(I just used regular cut green beans and it was yummy)

Preparation
Rub garlic over chicken. Sprinkle with basil and red pepper, if desired. In skillet, brown chicken. stir in tomatoes. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium heat, 8-10 minutes or until chicken is tender. Stir in green beans; heat through. Do NOT boil.

Calories for 4 oz chicken and 1/4 cup of tomatoes and green beans is  122 calories!
