Prepare this wonderful Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken and Green Beans Skillet using the following steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Remove Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover them to keep warm.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and reduce the heat to medium. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add Lemon: Pour in the lemon juice and zest, stirring well to combine.
7. Cook the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
8. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for another minute to heat through.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

These steps ensure you create a meal that is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat!
