From the Test Kitchen

This delicious summer recipe is inspired by the vibrant flavors of southern France's Provence region. Tender fingerling potatoes, blanched green beans, seared chicken and fresh tomato come together on the stovetop in a simple, delicious sauce of butter and vinegar. And in true Provençal fashion, we’re using plenty of fresh aromatics to flavor our chicken, vegetables and sauce—including garlic, shallot and thyme. A garnish of sliced almonds provides a finishing touch of crunch.

Core and medium dice the tomato.

2 Cook the green beans:

Add the green beans to the pot of boiling water. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until bright green and slightly softened. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked green beans to a strainer, leaving the pot of water boiling.

While the potatoes cook, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl with the flour; toss to coat. In a large, high-sided pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add half the chicken (tapping off any excess flour); cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Flip; add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan. Repeat with the remaining chicken, leaving it in the pan.
