Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the green beans by placing them in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water. Cover the dish and microwave for 8-10 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter begins to sizzle, add the sliced boneless skinless chicken thighs seasoned with salt and lemon pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter if needed, then stir in minced garlic, onion powder, pre-cooked green beans, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mixture for 4-5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften.
- Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and ½ cup of heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the sauce has thickened, stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon pepper if desired.
- Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, allowing it to soak up the flavors of the sauce for a minute. Carefully transfer the entire dish to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes
Ensure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety and tenderness. Adjust seasoning to taste and feel free to customize veggies based on preference.
