Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken & Green Beans Skillet

Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes
on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, add minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and paprika.
Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add lemon zest and juice to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet, stirring until melted
and incorporated into the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the lemon garlic
butter sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors
to meld together.
Prepare the Green Beans:
Add the blanched green beans as well

While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the
trimmed green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are crisp-
tender. Drain the green beans and set aside.

In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and
sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
