Ingredients

• Chicken
• 1.25 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Green Beans
• 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
• Lemon
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• Garlic
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Butter
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Italian Seasoning
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• Salt
• To taste
• Pepper
• To taste

Instructions

Start by slicing your chicken breasts or thighs into bite-sized pieces. Then, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they’re golden brown on both sides.

While the chicken is cooking, trim and slice the green beans. Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

Add the green beans to the skillet and cook until they’re tender, about 5 minutes.

Next, melt the butter in the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Add the lemon zest and juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet.

Stir to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve the Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green Beans Skillet immediately, garnished with additional lemon zest, if desired.
