Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>2. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>3. In a large oven-safe skillet or cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.<\/p>\n<p>5. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, dried thyme, oregano, and paprika to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.<\/p>\n<p>6. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up, along with any juices accumulated on the plate. Baste the chicken thighs with the lemon garlic butter sauce.<\/p>\n<p>7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F (75\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>8. While the chicken is baking, prepare the green beans. In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for about 1 minute until fragrant.<\/p>\n<p>9. Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still crisp.<\/p>\n<p>10. Once the chicken thighs are done, remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley, if desired.<\/p>\n<p>11. Serve the Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs hot alongside the saut\u00e9ed green beans. Enjoy your delicious meal!<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a recipe for Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs with Green Beans: Ingredients: For the chicken thighs: &#8211; 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs &#8211; Salt and black pepper to taste &#8211; 2 tablespoons olive oil &#8211; 4 cloves garlic, minced &#8211; 1 lemon, juiced and zested &#8211; 4 tablespoons unsalted butter &#8211; 1 teaspoon dried &#8230; <a title=\"Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs with Green Beans\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/?p=29006\" aria-label=\"Read more about Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Thighs with Green Beans\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":29007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29006"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29008,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29006\/revisions\/29008"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/29007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
