Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine French green beans with a splash of water. Microwave for 8-10 minutes until they are almost tender but still crisp.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken thighs, seasoned with salt and lemon pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until slightly browned and cooked through.
  3. Incorporate minced garlic, onion powder, precooked green beans, and sliced mushrooms into the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, allowing the mixture to bubble. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer until it thickens.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer the One Skillet Chicken to a serving dish, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.
