Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Season 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces) with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the same skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 1.5 cups halved baby potatoes, 1 cup trimmed green beans, and 1 cup cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Step 3: Return chicken to skillet, add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 lemon zested and juiced, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, stirring once halfway through.
