Description

A quick and delicious weeknight meal featuring tender chicken breasts and perfectly steamed green beans.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups green beans (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour olive oil into the skillet, then add the chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  4. Toss in the green beans during the last few minutes to steam them alongside the chicken.
