Creamy Italian Chicken with Green Beans

This is one of those dishes where you want to lick the plate clean, so many delicious flavours that all just work beautifully together.

Tip: You can use other veggies on the side but we think the garlic and lemon flavours are the perfect flavour combo with this dish.

Hint: You can leave out the white wine and just use extra stock.

Note: We used semi-dried tomatoes but if using sun-dried you can soak them in the stock while cooking the chicken.

while the beans are cooking add the yoghurt to the pan with the tomatoes and stir until well mixed then add the chicken back to the pan.
