01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 5.3 oz each)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

05 - 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
06 - 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
07 - 3 tablespoons honey

10 - 12.3 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
11 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
12 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
13 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
03 - Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
05 - Remove skillet from heat. Brush the tops of the chicken with the honey mustard sauce, reserving 2 tablespoons for finishing.
06 - Arrange trimmed green beans around the chicken in the skillet. Drizzle green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat.
07 - Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F and green beans are tender-crisp.
08 - Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 3 minutes. Drizzle with reserved sauce and garnish with lemon zest if desired before serving.
