Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs - 300 grams
• Fresh green beans - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Soy sauce (halal) - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Start by trimming the ends of the green beans and washing them thoroughly.
2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
3. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. While the chicken is marinating, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown color.
6. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the chicken during the last 3 minutes of cooking, tossing to combine and heat through.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
