Za’atar Chicken

Zest, then halve the lime. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, a pinch of lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thin to a drizzling consistency using about 1 teaspoon water.

Place your hand on top of a chicken breast and slice into the center of the meat, parallel to the cutting board. Stop before cutting all the way through. Open the chicken up like a book, cover with plastic wrap, and pound with a mallet or large pan until ½-inch thick. Repeat with the other chicken breast. Season on all sides with salt, pepper, and the remaining za’atar.

Cook the chicken: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.

Cook the green beans: Heat another drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook, tossing, for 5-6 minutes, until crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper.
