Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 pound 450g green beans
  • 3 tbsp divided butter
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup 125ml chicken stock
  • 1/4 tsp salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon + lemon slices
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Add the dried herbs and spices to a small bowl and mix.
  • Toss the chicken thighs in the spice mixture until fully coated and set this aside to marinate while you prepare the green beans.
  • Lay the beans out evenly into a microwaveable dish and cover with ½ cup (or 125ml) water and cook in the microwave for around 8-10 minutes. They should still have a good bite to them but cooked about 80% of the way.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and place the chicken thighs in once the butter is starting to bubble and froth.
  • Cook for around 5-6 minutes on either side or until you cut into the chicken and the juices run clear.
  • Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and transfer to a plate
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and add the green beans, parsley, garlic, hot sauce, and pepper flakes and cook on medium heat for around 5 minutes.
  • Once the beans are cooked to your liking, add the chicken stock and lemon juice and reduce for a couple of minutes until slightly reduced and glossy.
  • Add the chicken thighs back to the pan, season, serve, and enjoy!
