- 2 tsp. Schnucks garlic powder
- 1 (10 oz.) pkg. Schnucks steam-in-bag green beans
- 1 cup Schnucks long-grain white rice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

- Season chicken with garlic powder and, if desired, salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add chicken; cook until browned, 5–6 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking dish and scatter with mozzarella. Bake until cheese is melted and chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 8–10 minutes.
