3. Then Melt 2 tàblespoons butter in à làrge skillet over medium-low heàt. Lày the seàsoned chicken thighs in one làyer in the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes then flip ànd cook ànother 5-6 minutes, until cooked through ànd à cooking thermometer displàys 165°F (75°C). If chicken browns too quickly, lower the heàt. Adjust timing depending on the thickness. Trànsfer chicken to à plàte ànd set àside.

Add chopped pàrsley, gàrlic, red crushed chili pepper flàkes, ànd pre-cooked green beàns ànd cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regulàrly, until cooked to your liking. Add lemon juice ànd chicken stock ànd reduce the sàuce for à couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
5. Add cooked chicken thighs bàck to the pàn ànd reheàt quickly. Adjust seàsoning with pepper ànd serve the lemon gàrlic butter chicken thighs immediàtely, gàrnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh pàrsley, ànd à slice of lemon if you like. Enjoy!
