Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts or 4 tenders

1 cup full-fat coconut milk

1 lemon, juice and zest

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (or to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups trimmed green beans

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

2. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Stir in coconut milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer gently.

3. Crumble feta into the sauce and stir to melt. Add chili flakes and reduce heat to low, letting it thicken.

4. Toss green beans with olive oil, salt, and Parmesan. Spread on a rack over a sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes until crisp.

5. Return chicken to sauce and warm through. Plate chicken with sauce and green beans on the side. Garnish with lemon slices or herbs.

Notes

Zest the lemon before juicing for ease and maximum flavor extraction.

Don’t overheat the feta cream — slow melting keeps it creamy, not gritty.

Crisp green beans on a rack so they roast evenly and don’t steam.
