Briny olives, sweet browned shallots, and a dollop of tomato paste turn a pot full of green beans into something rich, savory, and impossible to stop eating. Here, the beans are roasted underneath boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which crisp up in the oven, turning golden on top and soft underneath.

This recipe was excerpted from ‘Dinner in One’ by Melissa Clark. Buy the full book on Amazon.

Cooks' Note

A bunch of broccolini or two sliced fennel bulbs can stand in for the green beans.
