One dish dinners rock in my book! Especially when they're flavorful, easy and work with the Optavia Diet, Optavia 5 &1 diet and are a low carb recipe to boot!

This quick and easy dinner features chicken and green beans, with a spicy (but not too spicy) and ooey... gooey, cheesy twist.

Just add to the dish and bake and you've got a complete Lean and Green meal that everyone will love!

Happy cooking-

Optavia Lean and Green Counts

6 ounces of chicken, 1/4 of the green beans and 1/4 of the cheese are:

Leaner 1

Green 2

Condiments 3

*Stacey's Chef Notes:

If you cannot find the thin French style green beans, you can use the regular ones, however, it's suggested that you rinse them, put them in a covered bowl and microwave on medium high for 1 minute to accelerate the cooking. If you put them in the dish raw and then bake them, they will need additional time to cook and soften and the chicken will overcook.
