Ingredients

½ cup fresh green beans

½ cup mushrooms, sliced

3 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast

½ cup fresh corn kernels

½ medium pear, sliced (Optional)

1 cup fat-free milk (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place a steamer pot with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the fresh green beans to the steamer basket and steam for 6–8 minutes until tender-crisp. Transfer to a plate.

  2. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the sliced mushrooms without oil. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden. If needed, add a splash of water to prevent sticking. Transfer to the plate with the green beans.

  3. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast and pat dry. Place in the same nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The chicken should be white throughout with no pink.

  4. In a small pot or microwave-safe bowl, warm the fresh corn kernels over medium heat or microwave for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

  5. Arrange the cooked chicken, steamed green beans, sautéed mushrooms, and warm corn on a dinner plate. Serve immediately while hot, with the optional pear slices and glass of cold fat-free milk on the side if desired.
