Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 small lemon, juiced
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into thirds
• 4 ounces fresh spinach
• 4 leaves fresh mint, or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut chicken thighs in half.

Step 2

Coat a large frying pan with cooking oil. Add chicken, onion, garlic, and ginger; cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and chicken is slightly seared on the outside, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in green beans, honey, lemon juice, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
