Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and soften.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the potatoes simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the green beans to the skillet, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook uncovered for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and drizzle with lemon juice. Let everything heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
