Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Side Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash the green beans under cold water. Trim the ends and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Green Beans

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and toss with butter, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
