# Ingredients Required:

→ Poultry

01 - 680 grams skinless boneless chicken thighs

→ Seasonings

02 - 1 teaspoon paprika
03 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 0.25 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
05 - 0.25 teaspoon salt
06 - 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

07 - 454 grams green beans, trimmed
08 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
09 - 0.5 cup fresh chopped parsley

→ Dairy

10 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

→ Liquids

11 - 0.5 cup chicken stock
12 - Juice of half a lemon

→ Condiments

13 - 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Sriracha)

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Generously season chicken thighs with the mixture and set aside.
02 - Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
03 - Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs in a single layer and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side, adjusting time based on their thickness, until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
04 - Lower heat to medium-low, melt remaining tablespoon of butter in the same skillet. Add chopped parsley, minced garlic, hot sauce, crushed red chili flakes, and green beans. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour in lemon juice and chicken stock, then simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
05 - Return chicken thighs to the skillet to reheat and coat with sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve garnished with extra crushed chili flakes and fresh parsley.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Adjust hot sauce and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. For a lighter option, replace butter with olive oil.
02 - Pair with rice or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
