INGREDIENTS

7 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs

1.5 cups green beans

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 2

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

• 3

  Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, smooth side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes without moving them to develop a golden-brown crust.

• 4

  Flip the chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then remove from the pan and let rest on a plate.

• 5

  In the same skillet, add the trimmed green beans and minced garlic, using the residual chicken fat and oil to sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.

• 6

  Deglaze the pan by adding the lemon juice to the green beans, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.

• 7

  Serve the juicy seared chicken alongside the garlic-infused green beans immediately.
