Ingredients
- ½ lb. French green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
- Salt and lemon pepper, (to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 10 oz. mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup chicken broth, unsalted
- ½ cup heavy cream, (or half-and-half + 1 tablespoon flour for lighter version)
- ⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese, more for garnish
Instructions
- Arrange green beans in a microwave-safe dish with ½ cup (125ml) water. Cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes, until almost done but still crisp.
Cook chicken
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter to the pan and heat it over medium high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add sliced chicken, season it with salt and lemon pepper right in the pan, and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until chicken slices are slightly browned.
Add beans and mushrooms
- Next add garlic, onion powder, precooked beans and mushrooms. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until mushrooms are cooked to your liking.
Make creamy sauce
- Add chicken broth and heavy cream and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
Add cheese
- Next add parmesan cheese into the pan. Stir until cheese is incorporated with the sauce. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
Serve
- Transfer the creamy green beans to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of colour and freshness. Serve hot or chilled.
