Instructions

1. 1.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced chicken breast and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through. Ensure the chicken is well-cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure food safety.
2. 2.
   While the chicken is cooking, combine the black beans and cherry tomatoes in a small bowl. Mixing the beans with tomatoes adds a hint of freshness and acidity, balancing the creamy yogurt later. Add a pinch of salt to taste and toss lightly to combine.
3. 3.
   In a separate small bowl, stir the Greek yogurt until smooth. Optionally, add a dash of pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor. This yogurt will provide a creamy base that complements both the chicken and the bean mixture.
4. 4.
   Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a minute. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender bite with each forkful.
5. 5.
   To assemble, place the chicken on a plate alongside the bean and tomato mixture. Dollop the Greek yogurt on top or alongside as a creamy dipping sauce. This combination offers a high-protein meal that's satisfying and full of balanced flavors.
