Blanc de Poulet Grille et Haricots Verts (Grilled Chicken Breast with Green Beans) is French home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Season the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, and thyme, and rub with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until cooked through and nicely marked, then let it rest a few minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the green beans for 5 to 6 minutes, until tender but still bright green, then drain.
- Toss the beans with the remaining olive oil, the garlic, and a squeeze of lemon.
- Slice the chicken and serve it alongside the green beans, a plain grilled dinner French households cook just as often as anything richer.
