Seared Chicken Thighs with Steamed Green Beans and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a comforting yet refined dinner of seared chicken thighs paired with delicate steamed green beans and a creamy lentil mash. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and seared to develop a flavorful crust while the lentil mash offers a satisfying, earthy creaminess that balances the dish beautifully.
INGREDIENTS
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (240g total)
1 cup green beans (125g)
1/2 cup cooked lentils (100g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt, pepper, and finely chopped thyme if using.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, steam the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
In a small saucepan, reheat the cooked lentils with a minced garlic clove and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Lightly mash with the back of a spoon to achieve a chunky mash consistency.
Plate by placing a generous spoonful of lentil mash next to the chicken thighs, and arrange the steamed green beans on the side. Serve immediately.
