Chef's tip: For even cooking, slice the potatoes uniformly thin so they crisp in the time given.

Chef's tip: If the skillet seems dry when cooking the chicken, add a splash of lemon juice to deglaze and keep it moist.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the potatoes into 2-3 mm rounds and trim the green beans. Cut the chicken breast into 2 cm cubes. Cut the lemon in half and juice one half.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    Place the potato slices in a single layer in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 minutes per side until golden and tender, then remove to a plate.

    ~6 min
  3. 3

    Add the chicken cubes to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 74°C/165°F). Remove and set aside.

    ~4 min
  4. 4

    Add the green beans to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until bright green and crisp-tender.

    ~3 min
  5. 5

    Return the potatoes and chicken to the skillet, squeeze the lemon juice over everything, and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute to warm through and coat with lemon juice.
