Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a tender chicken breast, its surface kissed with a delightful sear, yielding to a juicy interior infused with the vibrant zest of buffalo sauce. This isn't just any buffalo chicken; it's an experience, a symphony of flavors that dance across your palate. The richness of the buttery buffalo sauce, with its tantalizing tang and subtle heat, clings to the chicken, creating a harmonious blend that is both comforting and exciting.

But the magic doesn't stop there. Accompanying this succulent chicken are vibrant green beans, each one a testament to perfect cooking. Initially coaxed to tenderness in a hot skillet, their inherent sweetness is amplified, taking on a slight char that lends a delightful smoky note.

The process begins with a gentle saute, coaxing out their inherent sweetness and prepping them for the oven's embrace. These green beans are then set aside, patiently awaiting their moment to shine. Once the chicken has been seared to golden-brown perfection, the green beans rejoin the ensemble.

Together, they are transferred to the oven, where the gentle heat works its transformative magic. The chicken finishes cooking, its juices mingling with the buffalo sauce, creating a luscious glaze. Meanwhile, the green beans achieve a state of sublime perfection – tender yet retaining a satisfying crispness that offers a delightful textural contrast to the chicken's soft embrace.

The result is a dish that is both satisfying and visually appealing. The vibrant green of the beans contrasts beautifully with the fiery hue of the buffalo chicken, creating a plate that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste buds. Each bite offers a burst of flavor, a celebration of textures, and a culinary experience that will leave you craving more.

Whether you're seeking a comforting weeknight meal or an impressive dish to share with friends, this buffalo chicken with perfectly cooked green beans is sure to impress. It's a testament to the power of simple ingredients, expertly prepared, to create a dish that is truly extraordinary.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 400 F. Trim the ends of all the green beans. Also, cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and season with tsp kosher salt. Heat a large cast iron skillet (or other ovenproof nonstick skillet) over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and swirl the pan. Add the green beans and toss well to coat in olive oil. Cook for 1 minute and then remove the beans to a bowl.
    2.
    Add remaining oil to the skillet. Since the pan is already hot, add the chicken breasts shiny side down and sear very well, about 3-4 minutes.
    3.
    Flip and repeat on the other side.
    4.
    Move chicken to one side of the pan and add the green beans back.
    5.
    Place skillet in oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to 165 F. In the meantime, combine salted butter and hot sauce in a microwave safe container and microwave on high until melted (about 20 seconds). Brush cooked chicken with buttery-hot sauce and serve immediately.
