Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 1 lb green beans (microwave in bag variety recommended)

• 2 tablespoons butter, divided

• 1 teaspoon olive oil

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon Sriracha

• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

• Lemon slices, for garnish

Directions

1. Cook the green beans according to package instructions until tender but still slightly crisp. Set aside.

2. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.

3. In a large skillet, melt 1½ tablespoons of butter with 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and Sriracha. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

6. Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Slice the cooked chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Push the green beans to one side of the skillet and place the chicken on the other. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices before serving.
