This is another great recipe from the June Bon Appetit. It was super fast and easy and beautiful enough to serve for company. Trader Joe's carries "french green beans" (haricots verts) which are ready to go including being trimmed and cleaned. I had dinner on the table in 20 minutes and it really was one of the best ones we've had in a while. I served with couscous but brown rice or orzo would have been really nice too.
Chicken with Haricots Verts and Lemon Butter (Bon Appetit)
Timing - 20 minutes
Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (with or without skin)
All purpose or whole wheat flour
2 T olive oil
8 shallots, peeled, halved
2 T butter
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about one whole lemon)
1.5 t freshly grated lemon zest
1 lb haricots verts, trimmed (I used a little less)
2 T minced fresh chives
How to Make
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; lightly dust with flour to coat. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and shallots; saute until chicken is golden and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Melt butter in skillet with shallots over medium heat. Add lemon juice and zest and haricots verts and toss to coat. Cover and cook until beans are crisp-tender and shallots are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Return chicken and any juices to skillet; sprinkle with chives. Simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serves 4
