Instructions

1 Onions On & Prep Time

Slice the Onion in half then cut into thin crescents. Heat half a tbsp of Olive
Oil in a frying pan or skillet and tip the sliced Onions in. Allow the onions to
soften for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown then
remove and set aside on a plate.

During this time – Slice the Chicken Breasts in half through the middle (as you
would slice a cake into layers) to make four thinner Chicken portions.

Mix the Flour with the Salt & Pepper and then coat the Chicken portions in the
seasoned flour.

Trim the Green beans and slice the Lemon into slices keeping the ends with a bit
of flesh in them to squeeze the juice out of later.
2 Cooking Time

Heat the remaining half tbsp of Olive oil in the frying pan or skillet over a
medium heat and cook the Chicken for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken to the other
side and throw in the trimmed Green Beans and cook for another 4 minutes until
the Green Beans are bright Green. Then remove and set onto the plate with the
onions

Place the Lemon slices into the pan and allow to cook they will release juice as
the cook, the longer you let them brown and caramelise the more bitter they
becoem so if you dont want it bitter go for golden if you want a bitter edge be
bold and go for browning. For me 3-4 minutes is perfect then remove and place
aside with the Chicken, Beans & Onions.
3 Quick Sauce and Heat

Melt the Butter and Honey together in the pan once melted add the chicken back
in with the Green Beans and Onions then Top with the Lemon Slices. Use the cut
ends of the Lemon to squeeze juice over the whole pan.

Let it heat and cook together for a final 5 minutes and enjoy!

If you wish you can serve with cous cous, potato, or a slice of soft bread if
you feel the need.
