Dijon Chicken and Green Beans

Submitted by E.A.4957

"This is a quick and simple dish to make when you've had a busy day. Low in calories AND it tastes good!! If you like your green beans crunchy, this is perfect. If you prefer tender, I would recommend blanching or boiling beans for a minute before putting them in foil. A friend found this recipe and made it on the grill when we went camping, but I've also made it at home in the oven."

I used frozen chicken breast and regular aluminum foil. Unfortunately, the chicken ended up being a little "dry" (I adjusted the cooking time and probably let it cook too long) but the flavor was great. Very easy recipe to follow and quick to make.

This is easy to put together and very easy to clean up after. However, I thought the flavor was a bit bland and the texture was off.

The chicken was moist & delicious - I loved this recipe. My DH didn't care for the way the green beans turned out but I thought it was great! Perhaps it's because I'm the cook & I love a recipe that cooks the meal in aluminum foil that gets thrown away - NO PANS! I served it with a side of Near East rice pilaf - It's a keeper ... too bad DH!

What a delightful surprise this chicken dish was! The green beans pick up the honey mustard flavor and it was delicious. I sprinkled the chicken breasts with garlic pepper and omitted the pepper in the recipe. My husband as very complimentary of this way of fixing chicken. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
