Instructions

Gather and prep all ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 400F. Season the chicken thighs with garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Try to add some seasoning below the skin if possible.
In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add in the chicken, skin side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes or until skin is crisp.
Transfer chicken to a baking sheet or casserole dish and place into the oven, leaving any juice and oil in the pan. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
When the chicken is almost finished baking, add green beans to pan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until crisp but tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the butter, lemon juice, capers and half of the sliced lemon into the pan. Stir together until sauce thickens.
Serve chicken and green beans with a small handful of leafy greens. Drizzle sauce over the entire dish and garnish with remaining lemon slices. Enjoy!
