Heat a large saute pan to medium heat. While waiting for the pan to heat up season the chicken with pepper and garlic powder. Once the pan is hot, add the extra virgin olive oil to the pan.
Place the chicken immediately in the pan, leave it there for 2 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Both sides should start to become golden brown, but the center will still look uncooked…if not golden, give each side another minute…your pan wasn’t hot enough. Turn the heat to low and cover the chicken with a lid. Let it cook for about' 8' minutes, then flip and cover again for another' 8 minutes.
After' 8' minutes on each side covered, the chicken should be done. But this does depend on the size of the chicken breast…these times are based on' 8' oz breasts. It is always best to check the internal temperature of chicken before serving. Typically 1 minute per oz per side while covered works to cook perfectly.
Once the chicken is done, remove from the pan but leave the juices bin the pan. We are going to use the same pan for the remaining ingredients. Set the cooked chicken breast to the side for a few moments while you work on the remaining ingredients.
With the same pan, heat set to medium, add green beans to the juices. Then season with black pepper, and garlic salt. Toss the green beans with the seasoning. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes, tossing every 2 minutes. The liquid will be soaked up by the green beans.
While the green beans are cooking add the tomatoes to the pan. Place them around the edges of the pan so they are not disturbed by the green beans. Leave the tomatoes there to cook for 5 - 7 minutes. They will begin to get soft and start to blister. Do not stir them.
After 5 - 7 minutes the green beans will be done, remove them from the pan and place on your serving plate. Then add your chicken, and arrange the blistered tomatoes on top.
