- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 lb green beans trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic minced

Liquids

Preparation
In a small bowl, combine onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Season chicken thighs generously with this mixture. Set aside while you prepare green beans.
Finishing Touches
In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining tablespoon butter. Add chopped parsley, garlic, hot sauce, red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking.
