FAQ: Q: Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can! Just make sure to cook the chicken longer until it reaches the right internal temperature, as bone-in chicken will take a bit more time to cook through.

Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
A: While the chicken and green beans are best served fresh, you can prepare the garlic butter sauce and trim the green beans in advance. Reheat the components when ready to serve.

Q: Can I substitute fresh green beans for frozen?
A: Yes! If using frozen green beans, just be sure to thaw them first and sauté them a bit longer to get them tender and crisp.
