Meat - Chicken and yellow wax bean stew by Melania P. - Recipia

Chicken and yellow wax bean stew is usually served hot as a main course; the chicken breast and beans cook together with cherry tomatoes and garlic. The tomatoes and garlic go in near the end, and the sauce stays light, with fresh dill on top. I cut the chicken breast into roughly two-centimeter cubes so it cooks evenly. Preparation: 15 minutes. Cooking: 35 minutes. Total time: 50 minutes. Servings: 2. About 430 kcal and 61 g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

500 g chicken breast
15 ml oil
1 small onion (70 g)
100 ml water
200 g yellow wax beans
250 ml hot water
4-5 cherry tomatoes
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
10 g fresh dill

Preparation

1. Cut 500 g chicken breast into cubes and finely chop the onion. Heat 15 ml oil in a saucepan, add the chicken and brown it for 2 minutes, then add the onion and 100 ml water. Cook gently for 8 minutes, until the onion softens. 2. Trim 200 g yellow wax beans and rinse them under running water. Add them to the chicken, pour in 250 ml hot water and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the beans are tender. 3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the garlic. Add them to the saucepan, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, then cook for another 5 minutes, until the tomatoes soften. 4. Turn off the heat and sprinkle with the chopped fresh dill.

Notes

Green beans work in place of the yellow ones, in the same amount of 200 g; thick or older pods may need a few extra minutes. I start 50 minutes before the meal, and let the onion cook for the full time, without cutting it short. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; when reheating, add a little water if the sauce has thickened. I serve it with bread, to mop up the sauce left on the plate.
