This flavorful skillet combines tender chicken thighs with fresh green beans, infused with lemon, garlic, and butter for a delicious and easy meal.

4 pieces Chicken thighs (Juicy and flavorful; chicken breasts can be used as a substitute.)
2 tablespoons Butter (Adds richness; olive oil can be used for a lighter version.)
1 pound Green beans (Fresh and crunchy; asparagus can be used as a substitute.)
4 cloves Garlic (Fresh garlic preferred; garlic powder can be an alternative.)
2 tablespoons Lemon juice (Fresh lemon juice yields the best flavor.)
1 cup Chicken stock (Low-sodium stock recommended.)
1 teaspoon Onion powder (Enhances flavor.)
1 teaspoon Paprika (Adjust according to taste.)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (Optional; adds color and freshness.)

Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken stock and lemon juice, then add green beans. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until green beans are tender and sauce slightly thickened.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

For a lighter version, substitute butter with olive oil and chicken thighs with chicken breasts.
