Method

Steps to cook

9 steps Β· 13 min cook

  1. Prepare the ingredients. This is what's waiting on your plate – juicy chicken with a honey-lemon glaze and crispy green beans πŸ—πŸ‹ Prepare everything in advance so cooking goes smoothly.

  2. Optionally trim the green beans. Bring enough water to a boil in a pot and salt it. If you are using fresh green beans, trim them (cut off or snap off the ends and wash them)

  3. Cook the green beans. Put the beans into the boiling salted water. Boil fresh ones 3-5 minutes, frozen ones need 1-2 minutes. Then drain.

  4. Prepare the chicken for searing. Tip: If you want to achieve a nice golden crust, lightly coat the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour before searing and shake off any excess flour.

  5. Sear the chicken breasts. Heat oil (or melt a small piece of butter) in a hot pan over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook about 2 minutes on the first side.

  6. Finish cooking. Turn the meat and cook another 6–8 minutes over medium heat. Baste with the pan juices periodically to keep it moist.

  7. Add lemon and honey to create the glaze. Add lemon juice and honey to the pan. Increase the heat and let simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and becomes glossy and slightly caramelized. Turn the meat briefly in the glaze so it is coated on all sides.

  8. Slice and serve. Let the chicken breasts rest for 2 minutes, then slice into pieces.

  9. Serve. Serve with the cooked green beans and a lemon wedge on top 🍽️✨
