Description
A quick, comforting one-skillet dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs and crisp-tender green beans, enhanced with bold garlic-butter flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
- 4 tablespoons garlic butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the garlic butter.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the green beans to the same skillet and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, toss everything together, and ensure the green beans are coated in the garlic butter.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For best results, pat chicken dry before seasoning. Don’t overcrowd the skillet, use medium heat, and check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it’s correctly cooked.
