Summer Recipe: Lemon Garlic Chicken with Green Beans

Bummed that summer is almost over? Don't be! I'm about to tell you a fabulous way to eat healthy like it's summer -- all year long! Tessemae's has sponsored* this conversation on serving great food for your family without all the additives you'll find in many dressings, condiments, and marinades.



If there's one thing I love about summer meals and entertaining, it's the fact that I have so many fresh ingredients to work with. We eat quite a few meals that are made up of simple proteins paired with a lightly steamed veggies and some rice or potatoes on the side. The less I have to do, the better, and with the line of dressings from Tessemae's, I don't have to sacrifice flavor to get it on the table fast!

This summer, I was a big fan of the green beans that came out of our garden. This recipe, made fabulous with the Lemon Garlic Dressing from Tessemae's is so quick to make -- just 20 minutes!

You'll need:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into tenders
• Tessemae's Lemon Garlic Dressing (1/2 cup)
• 1 pound fresh green beans, cleaned and snapped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Put the olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium-high heat for 30 seconds before adding in the chicken. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on both sides, then add in the dressing and green beans. Continue cooking until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and liquids run clear. Serve with your choice of starch (I love red-skinned mashed potatoes!)

This is a tasty meal that is also good for back-to-school nights. You don't have to put preservatives or junk on the table to make a dinner that's fast and tasty! Tessemae's line of 25 dressings, seasonings, and condiments give a different flavor option for almost an entire month's worth of dinners!

You can also use this dressing on a salad, as a marinade for seafood, or in a pasta salad!
Tessemae’s organic dressings, marinades, and condiments use real, whole sourced food ingredients! (And those of you that need Whole30 approved foods will love that they contain no added sugar, thickeners, or additives – unlike most salad dressings on the market.)

You can purchase the entire line of tasty, certified organic dressings at the Tessemae's Amazon store!
