INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp ghee

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp fresh parsley

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1.5 cups green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to a uniform 1/2-inch thickness, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the extra virgin olive oil until shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove to a plate to rest.

• 4

  While chicken cooks, steam the green beans in a steamer basket for 5 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant green.

• 5

  In the same skillet used for the chicken, reduce heat to medium and add the ghee and minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 6

  Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to create a light sauce.

• 7

  Return the chicken to the pan briefly to coat in the sauce, then serve immediately alongside the steamed green beans.
