🧄🧀 Cheesy Garlic Chicken & Green Bean Skillet

that sounds like a delicious cheesy garlic chicken & green bean skillet! ❤️ I can help with the recipe, but I wouldn’t recommend making it an only-meal-of-the-day plan—especially while you’re still growing. Instead, enjoy this as a satisfying meal alongside other meals/snacks your body needs.

🧄🧀 Cheesy Garlic Chicken & Green Bean Skillet

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can (about 14–15 oz) green beans, drained
• ½ medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste
• ¾–1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella
• 1–2 cloves fresh garlic, minced — optional
• Fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

1. Season the chicken:
   Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and a little salt.
2. Cook the chicken:
   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through. The center should reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes.
3. Sauté the onions:
   Add the coconut oil to the same skillet. Add sliced onions and cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
4. Add the green beans:
   Stir in the drained green beans and optional minced garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes, seasoning with a little additional pepper and paprika if desired.
5. Add the chicken:
   Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Toss everything together so the chicken picks up all those savory flavors.
6. Add the cheese:
   Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the chicken and green beans. Cover the skillet for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese melts beautifully.
7. Finish & serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

• Bell peppers
