Customize It Instructions

If using pork chops, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 1, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Pork chop thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

1 Cook the Chicken
Pat chicken thighs dry. Don’t worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

Add ¼ cup water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover and cook until tender, 5-7 minutes.If green beans need more time, add 2 Tbsp. water and stir occasionally, 1-3 minutes.Remove from burner.While green beans cook, continue recipe. -
3 Heat the Mashed Potatoes
