2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons capers, dried and rinsed

Instructions 

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned but not cooked through.

Add green beans, chicken broth, garlic, and tarragon; continue to cook, stirring vegetables occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Add tomatoes, capers, salt, and pepper; stir until thoroughly heated.

Serve chicken topped with a helping of vegetables and juices.

Tips 

Capers come in several sizes; the largest have the strongest flavor.

Variations 

1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic may be substituted for freshly minced garlic.
