Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. French green beans
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
• Salt and lemon pepper (to taste)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions:

1. Arrange green beans in a microwave-safe dish with ½ cup (125ml) water. Cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes until almost done but still crisp.
2. In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When hot, add sliced chicken, season with salt and lemon pepper in the pan, and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until slightly browned.
3. Add garlic, onion powder, pre-cooked beans, and mushrooms. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly until cooked to your liking.
4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream; reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Add Parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir until the cheese is incorporated with the sauce. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
6. Serve warm and garnish with extra cheese, if desired.

Notes: For a lighter version, use half-and-half with a tablespoon of flour. Experiment with different mushroom varieties for added depth of flavor. Enjoy the convenience of a one-skillet wonder that effortlessly blends simplicity and gourmet sophistication!
