Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients
For Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green Beans:
• 3 – 6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 450g green beans, trimmed
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt and fresh cracked black pepper
• Juice of 1/2 lemon + lemon slices, for garnish
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
Instructions : For Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green
Beans
• 1. In a small bowl, combine onion powder, paprika, salt, and
pepper. Season chicken thighs generously with the spice
mixture. Set aside while you prepare green beans.
• 2. Arrange green beans in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2
27
cup water. Cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes, until
almost done but still crisp.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low
heat. Lay the seasoned chicken thighs in one layer in the
skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes then flip and cook another 5-6
minutes, until cooked through and a cooking thermometer
displays 75°C. If chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat.
Adjust timing depending on the thickness. Transfer chicken
to a plate and set aside.
• In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining
tablespoon of butter. Add chopped parsley, garlic, hot sauce,
red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans
and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your
liking. Add lemon juice and chicken stock and reduce the sauce
for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
• Push green beans to the side and add cooked chicken thighs
back to the pan and reheat quickly. Adjust seasoning with pepper
and serve the lemon garlic butter chicken thighs immediately,
garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh parsley, and
a slice of lemon if you like, and enjoy the meal!
