Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green Beans Skillet

1. Season the Chicken:
   • Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Cook Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

1. Cook Green Beans:
   • In the same skillet, add the trimmed green beans. Sauté them for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the skillet with green beans, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
   • Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, dried thyme, and lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

1. Combine and Simmer:
   • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Allow the chicken and green beans to simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
2. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
