6 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound trimmed green beans
8 small red potatoes, quartered
4 chicken breasts (bones left in, with skin, about 3 1/4 pounds)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Arrange the lemon slices in a single layer in the bottom of the dish or skillet. In a large bowl, combine the remaining oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper; add the green beans and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and have a crisp texture. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans, where the stem was attached. You can also trim the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the lemon-garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Sauté the green beans: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through. Pour the lemon-garlic sauce over the green beans and toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately: Lemon-garlic green beans are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crisp.
