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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.

Step 5

Add the green beans and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve directly from the skillet for an easy, no-mess dinner.
