The Easy Garlic Butter Chicken Dinner You’ll Want to Save
When you want a fast dinner that tastes cozy, savory, and fresh, this Garlic Butter Chicken Stir Fry with Green Beans is the perfect weeknight recipe.
It is made in one skillet with bite-size chicken pieces, crisp-tender green beans, garlic, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and a touch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
The chicken gets golden on the outside, the green beans stay bright and crunchy, and the garlic butter sauce coats everything with rich flavor without needing a complicated ingredient list.
Serve it on its own for a low-carb dinner, or pair it with rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
