Green bean Chicken Salad

This is super simple and you could leave out the chicken if you wanted this to just be a side dish. I was really satisfied after eating this and felt pretty happy about myself for not eating any processed carbs.

What you need:
One bag of green beans (about 4 giant handfuls)
1c cherry tomatoes (halved)
3 tbsp fat-free feta cheese
1 tsp olive oil
6 oz chicken breast
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chopped garlic
salt and pepper to taste

What you do:
Cook the chicken breast in a frying pan with a little bit of non-stick spray and the chopped garlic. When cooked, remove from pan and let cool. Cut into slices. On the stove, steam the green beans for about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove green beans and let cool for a minute or two. Sprinkle garlic powder on the beans. In a separate bowl, add tomatoes, cooked green beans (they can still be warm), feta, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix and plate. Add chicken on top. Viola!
