Garlic-Thyme Chicken with Green Beans & Rice
This garlic-thyme chicken with green beans and rice is a quick meal perfect for busy weeknights. With just five simple ingredients, (not counting oil, salt and pepper), this dish delivers big flavor without hassle. Look for packaged green beans that have already been trimmed to keep the prep moving along.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 (12-ounce) packages green beans, trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 (8.8-ounce) package precooked brown rice
Directions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with ½ teaspoon thyme and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; leave any drippings in the skillet.
- Add green beans, minced garlic and the remaining ½ teaspoon thyme and ¼ teaspoon salt to the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons water, stirring to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions.
- Divide the rice among 4 plates. Top each with 1 chicken thigh and 1¼ cups green beans.
