This story begins just as the great Sophia Petrillo began so many of hers on “Golden Girls.” Picture it: Sicily, 1922. A down-at-the-heels chicken farmer wanted to win the affection of a fetching young neighbor with a home-cooked meal. But it turned out she's paleo! What was a shabby chicken farmer to cook for this protein-preferring person that's still delicious enough to impress? He served forth a pan-roasted chicken with a fragrant herb blend next to mozzarella-crusted Roma tomatoes and roasted green beans dappled with fresh garlic. The drizzle of sweet-tangy balsamic glaze clinched it, and the two lived happily for many years, until they separated because she wouldn't stop talking about CrossFit.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Halve tomatoes lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out seeds from each half. Trim ends off green beans. Mince garlic. Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with half the Italian seasoning (reserve remaining for tomatoes), ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.
-
2 Assemble the Tomatoes Pizzaiola
Place tomato halves, cut-side up, on one side of prepared baking sheet. Divide softened butter between each tomato well and top each with cheese. Sprinkle each with remaining Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.
-
3 Roast the Green Beans and Tomatoes
Add green beans, garlic, 2 tsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper to empty side of baking sheet and toss to coat. Spread green beans into a single layer on their side. Roast in hot oven until green beans are tender and cheese is browned, 12-15 minutes. While green beans and tomatoes roast, sear chicken.
-
4 Cook the Chicken
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add chicken breasts to hot pan and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from burner.
