One-Pan Honey Garlic Chicken
Servings: 4-6
INGREDIENTS
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, chopped

¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pound green beans

5. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, honey, thyme, and oregano, and stir. Reduce heat to low.
6. Return chicken to the skillet. Coat the chicken in the sauce.
