Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • 6 ounces organic green beans
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • Sunbasket garlic-herb blend (granulated garlic - dried thyme - dried oregano)
  • 1 organic red or other bell pepper
  • ¾ cup cooked quartered artichoke hearts
  • ½ cup cooked chickpeas
  • 4 or 5 sprigs organic fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Sunbasket Italian vinaigrette (EVOO - red wine vinegar - champagne vinegar - sun-dried tomatoes - garlic - dried oregano - Dijon mustard)
Grill It
Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of a grill. Set the chicken breasts on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until starting to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to indirect heat, close the grill, and cook without turning until lightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.

Make It Ahead
You can make the green bean salsa (Steps 1 and 3) up to 1 day ahead, but wait to strip and chop the parsley leaves. Cover and refrigerate the salsa overnight. When ready to serve, let the salsa come to room temperature, prep and add the parsley, and reseason to taste as you proceed with the rest of the recipe (Step 2).

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the green beans

  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans if needed.
Bring a medium sauce pot of water, salted if desired, to a boil. Add the beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Cut the beans into ½-inch lengths.
While the water heats and the beans cook, prepare the chicken.

2

Prep and cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt, if desired, and pepper and the garlic-herb blend.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the salsa

  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into ½-inch pieces.
  • Coarsely chop the artichokes.
  • Rinse the chickpeas.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans, bell pepper, artichokes, chickpeas, and parsley. Add the Italian vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper.
