1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

6. Incorporate Butter: Add the unsalted butter to the skillet, letting it melt and combine with the garlic.
7. Add Lemon: Pour in the lemon juice and add the lemon zest, stirring to combine all flavors.
8. Add Green Beans: Toss the trimmed green beans into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender-crisp.
9. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the lemon garlic butter sauce over the top.
10. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
