Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grape tomatoes

½ cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1

inch pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the grape tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until the tomatoes are lightly browned.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil until combined.

To assemble the salad, place the grilled chicken strips on top of a bed of lettuce or spinach leaves (optional). Top with roasted grape tomatoes and green beans then drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette dressing before serving immediately. Enjoy!
