2. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, melt 25 g of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts of chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
3. Cook the green beans: In the same pan, add the green beans and a little water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to help them steam. Cover the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
4. Add the garlic and lemon: Stir the minced garlic into the green beans and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the lemon juice and the remaining butter (25g). Stir well to coat the green beans in the sauce.

6. Serve: Arrange the chicken and green beans on plates. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
