Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Green beans, trimmed
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender. Remove the green beans and set aside.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes, if using. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken and green beans to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer everything together for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
