Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.75 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Season and sear chicken in 2 tablespoons butter 6-7 minutes per side, then remove.
  2. Melt remaining butter and saute garlic 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add green beans and cook 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Return chicken and spoon the garlic butter over the top.
  5. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Don't let the garlic brown or it turns bitter; low and slow is the move.
