In a small pot, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with the rest of the salt, the black pepper, and the dried thyme.
Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for 6 minutes more until the center is opaque. Transfer to a plate to rest. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the green beans and a splash of water, cover, and steam for 4 minutes. Uncover, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Fluff the rice with a fork. Serve the chicken breast alongside the rice and the garlic green beans.
