instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & start the sauce:
Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then large dice. Halve the tomatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the prunes and capers. Place in a bowl; add half the chopped garlic. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), vinegar, and 1/4 cup of warm water until smooth.

Cook the vegetables:
In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the green beans are softened and the water has mostly cooked off. Add the diced peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the halved tomatoes and remaining chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Transfer to a large bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

Cook the chicken:
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning; toss to coat. In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to the bowl of cooked vegetables; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Finish the sauce & serve your dish:
In the pan of reserved fond, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared prune mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly and scraping up any fond, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly reduced in volume. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked chicken and vegetables topped with the finished sauce. Enjoy!
