If you can’t find haricots verts, look for slender green beans.
Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breast halves (with or without skin)
all purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 shallots, peeled, halved
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
1 pound haricots verts, trimmed
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; lightly dust with flour to coat. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and shallots; sauté until chicken is golden and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate.
2. Melt butter in skillet with shallots over medium heat. Add lemon juice and lemon peel, then haricots verts; toss. Cover and cook until beans are crisp-tender and shallots are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Return chicken and any juices to skillet; sprinkle with chives. Simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer chicken and vegetables to platter and serve.
