Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Trim the green beans by snipping off the ends.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for about 2 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the milk or light cream, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer.

5. 5

   Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and add the green beans. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes until green beans are tender and the chicken is warmed through.

6. 6

   To serve, sprinkle with fresh parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, drizzle some extra lemon juice for brightness.

Notes

• •For a richer sauce, use light cream instead of milk.
• •Ensure not to overcook the green beans; they should remain vibrant in color and crunchy.
