INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Green Beans
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for green beans)
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and thyme.
In a shallow dish, mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with 2 minced garlic cloves. Let the chicken marinate in this mixture for about 10-15 minutes.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, place the chicken breast in the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Adjust time depending on thickness to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the green beans with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the green beans in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender-crisp with slight char marks.
Once the chicken and green beans are ready, plate them together. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor and serve immediately.
