Ingredients

2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 lb green beans
1 head garlic sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside
In a large skillet heat oil. Add in chicken skin side down and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium-high heat or until skin turns golden brown. Flip chicken and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate
Add in butter garlic and green beans. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes tossing the green beans and garlic slices consistently, until garlic is golden and green beans have cooked slightly but still holds a crunch.
Add the chicken back in and drizzle with soy sauce. Allow flavors to incorporate for 1-2 minutes. Serve

Notes

Chicken thighs - I like using boneless chicken thighs but boneless chicken breasts work just as well. Bone-in chicken also works and will give the dish more flavor but will take longer to cook.

Green beans - While this recipe calls for green beans, you can use almost any vegetable you like. Substitute them for asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, or any combination of veggies.

Garlic - The minced garlic is cooked along with the green beans for an irresistibly savory flavor. If you want to take it a step further, mix the garlic in with the butter

Olive oil and butter - Both are used in the skillet to cook the chicken and green beans.

Soy sauce - This is added at the end to give the chicken skillet dinner an umami flavor. If you’re gluten free, you can use tamari or coconut aminos instead.
