Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 6 oz chicken thighs dry, then toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 tsp chopped thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange chicken skin-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Step 3: While chicken roasts, heat a skillet over medium-high. Add 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1 cup green beans, and 1 minced garlic clove. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until beans are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp sliced almonds and cook 1 minute more.
  5. Step 5: Serve roasted chicken alongside green beans, drizzling any pan juices over both.
