Ingredients 

Chicken Ingredients 

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1⁄2 cup nonfat greek yogurt
• 2 Tbs mayonnaise
• 2 Tbs lime zest (from 3-4 limes)
• 2 Tbs finely grated fresh ginger (from a 5-6-inch piece of peeled ginger root)
• 2 cups prepared Jasmine rice

Garlic Green Beans Ingredients 

• 2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped in half
• 6 tbs butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1⁄4 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning, or more to taste
• salt to taste 

Instructions 

Chicken 

1. Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 tbs salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the yogurt mixture and stir to coat. Allow to marinate for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.
2. Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear(internal temperature of 165° F), about 5 minutes per side, turning as necessary to avoid burning. (This can also be cooked on a stove-top the same way but in a skillet.)
3.  Serve atop 1⁄2 cup of steamed jasmine rice and with a lime wedge, for juicing on top.

Garlic Green Beans 

1. Place green beans into a large skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans just start to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
2.  Drain and return to the skillet. Add butter and stir until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
3.  Add garlic; cook until tender and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
4.  Season with lemon-pepper seasoning and salt before serving.
