Instructions
- In a large skillet, place the chicken thighs and pour the zesty Italian dressing over them. Let marinate for 5 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Remove the chicken temporarily and add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
- Stir in the uncooked rice and green beans, spreading them evenly in the skillet.
- Place the chicken thighs back on top of the rice and green beans, cover the skillet, and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken simmers, toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the skillet just before serving for a lovely crunch and nutty flavor.
