Ingredients

• 1.25 pound chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (small, thinly sliced)
• 1 apple (medium, cored and sliced)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 ounce fresh green beans (trimmed)

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add the sliced yellow onion and sliced apple to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for 1 minute more until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
5. Add the fresh green beans to the skillet. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
6. Serve immediately.

Notes
