A pot of tomatoes, green beans and chicken in broth

Why I Love This Recipe

Okay, I’ve got a super easy, low-carb recipe that’s healthy and seriously delicious! It’s all about boneless, skinless chicken thighs (they don’t dry out like chicken breasts), tossed with green beans and tomatoes in a light, flavorful broth.

This is a one-pan wonder, so cleanup is a breeze, and it’s just packed with simple, fresh flavors. A few herbs, some garlic, and a little freshly grated Parmesan—that’s all you need to bring it to life.

Honestly, I really loved this dish. I’m all about those light, simple flavors. A sprinkle of Parmesan is all it takes to make everything taste so good, and the broth adds just the right amount of light sauce to bring it all together.

If you like bold, strong flavors, this might not be your thing. But if you're into light and fresh tastes (like me!), then you’re going to love this one!

Recipe Tips

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate in the seasoning and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
If you like your green beans softer, feel free to cook them a little longer. If you want them crisper, add them closer to the end of chicken cooking.
Swap the chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer, but keep an eye on cooking time to avoid dryness.
More flavor ideas: A pinch of red pepper flakes, soy sauce, hot sauce, barbecue sauce, or just more parmesan cheese! 😊
