Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme or rosemary. Set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the green beans: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown slightly.
Deglaze the pan: Add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir well to combine.
Combine chicken and beans: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and nestle it among the green beans. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the green beans are tender.
Finish and serve: If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish to add a touch of brightness. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
