Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green Beans Skillet Directions:
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt the light butter and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest, stirring to combine. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate all flavors.
- Toss in the green beans, ensuring they are well coated in the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce and green beans over it. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with thyme or parsley if desired. Serve warm.
