Instructions

Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Sauté green beans: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add green beans and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
Combine and simmer: Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the balsamic sauce over the chicken and green beans. Stir to coat evenly and simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Vegetable Additions: Add cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Dairy-Free Option: Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
