Before You Start

Rinse the chickpeas and dice the cucumber first so the bowl comes together fast.

How To Make It
  1. Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat, about 1 minute, until it shimmers.
  2. Add the chicken with the oregano and cook 6 to 7 minutes, turning, until golden and it reaches 165°F with no pink.
    165°F
  3. Add the green beans and chickpeas with a splash of water and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the beans are just tender.
  4. Stir in the spinach for 1 minute, until it wilts, then squeeze in half the lemon.
  5. Spoon it into a bowl, top with the cucumber and parsley, and serve with the other lemon half.
Fix It: Chicken browning too fast? Lower the heat to medium and add a splash of water.
