Greek Chicken with Green Beans

  Chicken & Turkey

My Greek grandmother made the most delicious Greek chicken and green beans with a lemon-tomato flavor. Whenever I make this recipe I think of her. The juices from the meat flavor the green beans, but the beans can be prepared alone as a side dish if desired.
