INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup green beans

1 tbsp avocado oil

1.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.

• 2

  Season both sides of the chicken evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 3

  Heat the avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 3 minutes to keep the juices intact.

• 6

  In the same skillet, add the green beans and sauté for 4 minutes, using the moisture from the beans to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the chicken.

• 7

  Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.

• 8

  Toss the green beans to coat thoroughly and cook for 1 more minute until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

• 9

  Slice the chicken against the grain and serve alongside the zesty green beans.
