Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound baby potatoes (halved)
- 2 cups green beans (trimmed)
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add the green beans and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, then return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve directly from the skillet for an easy, no-mess dinner.
