My skillet chicken with the colors and flavors of Italy is so easy. The fire-roasted tomatoes sound complicated, but all you have to do is open a can! —Margaret Wilson, Sun City, California

Ingredients

2 tablespoons salt-free garlic herb seasoning blend
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
3/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
Hot cooked pasta, optional

Directions

Mix seasoning ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of chicken breasts. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10-12 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°.
Meanwhile, in a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, combine green beans and water; microwave, covered, on high for 3-4 minutes or just until tender. Drain.
Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm. Stir butter and beans into tomato mixture. Serve with chicken and, if desired, pasta.

This recipe was simple and very delicious! I served it without the optional pasta. It really doesn't need it. I used frozen steamable cut green beans and steamed them in the microwave, drained them, and then proceeded with directions. When I added the green beans to the skillet, I seasoned them with salt and garlic pepper.

Good, nice change of pace from the usual steamed green beans.
