Tips for the chicken thighs recipe
- We like to remove chicken thighs from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before cooking to bring them close to room temperature. This ensures even cooking and no uncooked spots.
- We use boneless and skinless chicken thighs because they render less fat and cook quicker than bone-in. Plus, it is easier to rub the spice mixture deep into the chicken meat.
- Season chicken thighs just before cooking to prevent drawing out moisture and drying out the meat. If you want to let it sit longer, omit the salt from the spice mixture, and add it 10 minutes before cooking.
- You can add crispy bacon to the green beans for a nice flavor.
- You can use chicken tenders instead of chicken thighs for a variant of this chicken thighs recipe. They’re delicious and cook faster! Just keep an eye on it so they don’t overcook and dry up.
How to keep chicken thighs and asparagus leftovers
You can keep any chicken and green beans leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or microwave with a few drops of water to loosen the sauce.

Directions
How to Make this Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken Recipe:
1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. You want to remove excess moisture so the chicken will brown properly.
2. Combine the onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Rub the chicken thighs generously with the seasoning mixture. Set aside while you prepare green beans.
4. Arrange the green beans in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup (125ml) water and cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes until almost done but still crisp.
5. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
6. Place the seasoned chicken thighs top side down in the hot skillet and cook, until golden, about 5-6 minutes, then flip the chicken thighs and cook another 5-6 minutes, until cooked through and a cooking thermometer displays 165°F (75°C). If the chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat. Adjust timing depending on the thickness. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
7. In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add chopped parsley, garlic, hot sauce, red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking. Add lemon juice and chicken stock and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.
8. Push green beans to the side, place the chicken back in the pan with the sauce, and reheat quickly. Adjust seasoning chicken with pepper.
9. Serve the lemon garlic butter chicken thighs warm, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh parsley, and a slice of lemon if you like. Enjoy!

Made this for dinner tonight exactly as written. I had to use chicken breasts as that is what I had on hand but I cut them in half horizontally so they were thin. I cooked the green beans for eight minutes. The recipe was delicious and enjoyed by all.

Very delicious, I didn't have Saracha so I used Tabasco sauce (just a little) I have a huge household so I doubled everything and used regular pans bc I don't have a cast iron. Family loved it, will be making again! Thanks for the recipe.♡♡♡♡

I loved this dish! It gets 5 stars because it was superb! I made a mistake and used that lemon juice in those little lemon shaped bottles instead of fresh lemon and I regret it. However...in its entirety it was a wonderful recipe! I'm glad I stumbled across this!

My family loved this dish tonight. However, it was very irritating to have not have the ingredients directly above the instructions. It was a pain to have to scroll up over multiple pictures and other info to find the the measurements and then back down to read the directions.

This recipe was so gosh darn good! I knew it was going to be too spicy for me so I only did 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha and I still did the 1/4 teaspoon of the red chilly flakes. It was the perfect combo of savoury and spicy. Both my girls really enjoyed it, and I had 4 chicken thighs it was so good. Thank you so very much for the recipe! 10/10 would definitely recommend

I made this tonight for the first time and it was amazing! I ended up cooking some white rice with it and topping the chicken and green beans over it and it was so good. My husband and I ate every bite and he raved about how I should make sure of this! Will definitely be a go to dinner recipe for us!
Alison
2023-12-02 21:15:49
I had some chicken thighs I wanted to use and had almost all of the other ingredients so decided to do this. It was fantastic. Next time I will add more green beans - it was all fantastic but we ate all the beans and wanted more. The smell was also amazing. Highly recommend - super easy and quick

This was absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to make it again. Didn’t use the chilli flakes and it was still nice and spicy! Will probably use a little less sriracha next time for my toddler.
Damaris

Loved this recipe. Used chili crisp instead of the sriracha/red pepper flakes. The sauce had a wonderful deep flavor. Will definitely add this to my favorites!
Tina

My husband and I both thought this was awesome. Made exactly as written except I was worried the rub wasn’t enough and doubled it. It was close to being too salty (not but close) because of that so maybe should have not doubled the salt. Chicken definitely takes longer to cook than written but that will be dependent on the size of your pieces. I had one piece fatter than the others and was taking much longer so I took it out and let it finish by itself in the oven and kept moving with the recipe. We liked the spice level but it may be too much for some people. Served with baked potatoes. I bought already prepped green beans that just need to be steamed in the bag (4min), a time saver. I only stir fried the beans with the garlic for a minute because the garlic was starting to burn.

The flavor was on point. I’m curious if you meant low-high on the chicken cooking temperature? My chicken was a bit rubbery. I do love your recipes. Much obliged.

Highly recommend this recipe! If you’re wanting a quick dinner, don’t use bone-in and skin on chicken. It does take a little while longer to cook but it was what I had on hand. This is my first skillet recipe I’ve ever made and I feel like it’s beginner friendly. I’m not much of a cook anyways either haha!

Incredibly easy and even more delicious! I made it exactly as stated. I really appreciate you sharing this. It is delicious and so affordable in these expensive times. Also glad that I had sriracha on hand because of the shortage. Thank you!
Casey
2023-06-19 12:46:38
Just made this today. I used Cayenne Pepper instead of Paprika since I didn't have that on hand. I added mushrooms which was a plus. I didn't do green beans. Instead, I cooked Brussel sprouts separately in the oven (recipe in the eatwell website too). The dish was great and my family cleaned their plates! I'm saving this one for sure :)
Ruth
2023-06-18 21:58:54
This was very good. I have never had butter chicken before I cannot eat really spicy food and bring able to adjust the spice was wonderful. I used the vegetables I had on hand, mushrooms, onions and I had 2 green beans from my garden so I also the them in. I also served air fried potatoes on the side since I needed to use them up as well. Thanks
Rosanne
2023-06-02 06:17:23
This meal was delicious and easy. I accidentally used cilantro instead of parsley, because I got them mistaken in my garden in haste. It was a good mistake! I will definitely make this again. As per some of the reviews, I left out the red pepper flakes because I don’t like things overly spicy.
Teresa

Super good!! I’m a college student and was wanting to try a “big girl” dinner, and this was so easy and was sooo good, I am very picky also especially with green beans and I loved it! Thank you for this gem!
Richard
2023-03-31 22:41:16
Very tasty results. However, 5 minutes is long enough in the microwave for the beans, and the chicken probably needs more than 6 minutes per side. I will definitely make this again. I think I will replace the butter with olive oil to make it a bit healthier. I’m sure it won’t be as delicious though.
Skyler
2023-03-31 18:58:00
This was delicious! My husband isn’t a fan of fresh green beans but he ate them up with this sauce! Will definitely make again.

We loved it! I have a very picky 12 y.o. that didn’t eat the green beans, so I ate hers lol. My 15 month year old loved the chicken, which was a very awesome surprise. (So far he’s mostly been into fried chicken.) I added some salad to the meal and a smidge of rice, since I worries I over seasoned the meat. So 4/5 people in our family loved it! That’s a win!
Xhy
2023-01-30 18:28:52
Everyone loved it. I just added some onions as well for more flavour. I didn’t have chicken thighs, so I made it with chicken breast. And It was really good. Next time I’ll make it with thighs. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe

This was a great meal prep option. I made this and served over jasmine rice. I added a little heavy cream to sauce mixture to make it a little creamy and it was amazing. Definitely will recommend. For the green beans, I got the ones in the bag that you can pop in the microwave, then I sautéed in the sauce like the instructions said.

Alicia

Fast, easy and delicious dish. Love that it's one pan. I added a bit of canola oil with the butter to prevent over browning or burning since butter burns easily. I didn't remove the chicken from the pan but pushed it aside and continued with the recipe and that worked well. Served with mashed potatoes. Be sure to use thighs! I had one chicken breast I cut in half since I wanted to use it up along with two thighs and the thighs turned out more flavorful and tender.

This was good. The chicken was cooked perfectly. So I was born and raised in the Philippines and I am used to food being seasoned a certain way. I followed every instruction in this recipe but at the end, I made some hainanese ginger sauce to pair with the chicken. Honestly, it made the entire dish so good according to our Asian taste buds LOL. Give it a try as well, you guys might like it.

This was very delicious. However, I decided to roast my green beans since I was also making mushrooms with this so I roasted for about 20 minutes and then put in the pan at the end as directed. The sauce was actually really delicious and I wished I had doubled it because it did simmer down a bit especially once I added the green beans. It was a pretty quick and easy recipe and I would make it again, my only complaint is that I had to keep scrolling back-and-forth between the ingredient list to the steps because of all the pictures in between.
Kate
2021-08-23 19:28:44
Awesome recipe. I made some small substitutions (scallions for parsley) and didn't precook the green beans because I used the super thin ones from Trader Joes. They were perfect after 6-8 minutes plus sauce reduction and chicken reheat. Smoked paprika is a great addition, too.

Tasted good but the chicken had no color to it and didn't look like the photos. Recipe said to cook chicken medium/low so I don't get how the chicken in the photos came out so crispy and dark. Maybe next time I will finish under the broiler.

Was going great right up until I added the chicken stock, which completely watered down and ruined everything. What were you thinking with that? Terrible. Ther ecipe without adding the liquid at the very end when everything's already cooked, though, is good.

So easy and absolutely delicious! Did not have green beans but used a combination of broccoli, Brussels sprout and carrots.

Hubby (excellent cook) loved the kick of spices. We live at high altitude so more time on the chicken thighs and we like crunchy beans, so for us, less on beans. We used olive oil instead of butter and worked wonderfully. Loved the receipt. A keeper for sure.

This was very tasty! I used chicken tenders and they cooked pretty quickly. I would double the amount of spice to coat the chicken but other than that, I thought this was a great, weeknight recipe. My total prep+cook time was about 45 min.

Threw this together for lunch meal prep for the week. Subbed chicken breast for the thighs, finished the breasts in the oven while I made the sauce. Nice and quick meal.

This was fantastic! The lemon on the green beans was a new flavor for my family and we couldn't get enough of the "sauce." I loved that it came together quickly in 1 pan. This is going in our regular dinner rotation.

It was very easy and very pretty. We loved it !!!! My question is how can I make the green beans by themselves? Any suggestions?

My family & I really like this!!! Only had frozen green beans and boneless, skinless breasts, still was soooo good!! Thanks so much!

My husband and all 4 kids (10 and under) LOVED this. I left out the siracha and crushed red pepper so that it wouldn’t be too spicy for my 18m old. The rest of us added crushed red pepper to our individual servings. We also used frozen green beans because this was a last minute recipe find and I didn’t have fresh ones on hand. The recipe was quick and easy but was so visually appealing and delicious that it felt gourmet! We will add this to our regular rotation. Thanks for the great recipe!

Not really lemony, garlicky, or buttery, it’s got a nice Spicy flavor though. Good recipe

My family really liked this. I doubled the recipe as we have a lot of mouths to feed and only used half the Sriracha with no red pepper flakes as I and my youngest are total wimps but even we enjoyed it! I also did not precook the beans. I just sauteed them for a few minutes with the garlic then added 1/4 the chicken broth and covered them just until they started to soften. Then cooked them in the sauce like normal. My teenage boys even said they were the best green beans they had ever had!

Good but...First of all, the prep time is WAY off. 10 minutes to prep a pound of green beans, clean and chop 4 cloves of garlic, prepare spice mix, prepare chicken thighs, juice and slice a lemon... It took me at least 30 minutes and I am not a beginner cook. I will probably make this again but I am very happy I started the prep early so we could eat dinner on time. I used half of the sriracha and no chili flakes and the beans were pretty spicey

Made this this evening and after 6 min on med/low with lid on in a cast iron dutch oven, the chicken was not done at all. Took about 15 min per side. I liked the concept when reading through recipe but will probably not try again (my opionion) sorry.

Easy recipe. I found that I had to cook the chicken a bit longer in the skillet but it was tasty and everyone loved it!

This is not an easy 1 skillet prep as written. It certainly could be, however. No need to micowave the beans, just put them in the skillet when the chicken is almost finished.

I’ve tried many new recipes this year and this was by far my favorite!!! I only had the meat leftover from last night and I just finished up sautéing some zucchini’s with it and the sauce and it is delicious! My tips, be generous with the peppers, lemon and salt! I used dried parsley and it was divine.
