Ingredients
Boneless Chicken Breast, 1.5 pounds, Chopped into 1-inch cubes
Fresh Green Beans, 1 pound, Ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons (Avocado oil may be substituted)
Garlic, 4 cloves, Mince
Lemon Juice, 2 tablespoons
Chicken Broth, ½ cup (low-sodium recommended)
Salt, 1 teaspoon
Black Pepper, ½ teaspoon
Dried Oregano, 1 teaspoon
Onion Powder, 1 teaspoon
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons oil.
Cook minced garlic in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add chicken cubes and cook for 6-7 minutes, turning, until golden browned and cooked through.
Sprinkle oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the skillet.
Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
Stir to coat chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a dark, concentrated sauce.
Toss in green beans, season with additional salt/pepper if needed, and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender but still firm.
Remove from heat and serve immediately from the skillet.
Notes
Sear chicken first to develop the fond for maximum flavor depth.
Restaurants use pressure cookers for tender chicken—adaptable here if needed.
Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days in fridge or 4 hours in a slow cooker for meal prep.
Cook green beans slightly less (1-2 minutes) for crisper texture.
Omit lemon juice and add more broth for a less tangy version.
