instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

    3

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and bell pepper, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes until the pepper is tender.

    4

    Add the green beans to the skillet and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

    5

    Next, return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the red wine. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes until the alcohol evaporates and the sauce reduces slightly.

    6

    Finally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish for a fresh touch. Mix everything well.

    7

    Let it rest for 2 minutes, then serve warm, optionally over a bed of rice or with crusty bread.

Important Tips

  • For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for an hour before cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute with your favorite vegetables such as zucchini or snap peas.
