Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs chicken thighs boneless & skinless
  • 12 oz green beans
  • ½ cup chicken broth (unsalted or low-sodium)
  • ½ cup dry white wine pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, vermentino or chardonnay
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup lemon juice save lemon
  • 4 tbsp butter (unsalted or salted)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 6 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

  • Trim off the fat from the chicken thighs. Place the chicken in a bowl. Add onion, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and mix until well coated. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Heat the pan up to medium and add oil. Wait for 2 minutes.
  • Turn heat up on the pan to medium-high and add more olive oil. Cook in 2 batches: add chicken to the hot pan. Sear 2-3 minutes per-side and then transfer to a plate/bowl. Repeat: sear and transfer rest of chicken (seance batch) to a plate/bowl.
  • Add butter and wait until it's fully melted. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Pour in white wine and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add lemon juice with whole lemon and chicken broth.
  • Turn down the heat to medium. Return seared chicken and simmer for 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp. 165°F) and the sauce has reduced less then half.
  • Meanwhile, trim off the tips of the green beans. Blanche the green beans (boil in hot water for 5 minutes or microwave for 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • Push the chicken to one side. Add blanched beans. Stir the beans into the sauce and let cook for a few minutes. Optional: place chicken on top of the green beans. Add chopped parsley. Season with salt to your preference.

Serve and enjoy!
