Any part of the chicken is delicious, but for our money, nothing beats the thighs. Thighs are where the flavor lives, as well as the juiciest part of the bird. In this meal, the flavorsome fowl is augmented by the delish almonds, adding a smoked, crunchy touch. This meal also combines two of our favorite qualities in any recipe: quick and easy. Giving you maximum return on your time investment, and delicious flavor to boot? Thighs will be your go-to chicken part from now on.

2 Prepare the Ingredients
Trim ends off green beans and cut into 1" pieces.
Trim and cut white portions of green onion into 1" lengths. Thinly slice green portions. Keep white and green portions separate.Crush almonds into coarse pieces.Pat diced chicken thighs dry, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you receive whole thighs, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1" pieces. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor. -
