Weeknight Lemon Chicken Skillet Dinner

Ingredients

12 ounces baby red potatoes, halved

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to 3/4-inch thickness

¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

2 thyme sprigs

4 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

¼ cup whole milk

5 teaspoons all-purpose flour

1 ¾ cups unsalted chicken stock

8 very thin lemon slices

1 (8-counce) package trimmed haricots verts (French green beans)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, and simmer 12 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken and thyme sprigs to pan; cook 5 minutes or until chicken is browned. Turn chicken over. Place pan in oven; bake at 450°F for 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from pan.

Return pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add potatoes, cut sides down; mushrooms; and 1 tablespoon thyme; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring once. Combine milk and flour in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add remaining salt, remaining pepper, flour mixture, stock, lemon, and beans to pan; simmer 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Add chicken; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with parsley. How many pounds have you lost this month?
