Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare a steamer basket by lining it with parchment paper and ensuring it is set over a pot with 2 inches of simmering water.

2. 2

   Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 6 ounces each) evenly with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   Place 1 tablespoon of thinly sliced fresh galangal and several thin slices from half of the 1 lemon on top of each seasoned chicken breast.

4. 4

   Arrange the prepared chicken breasts in the lined steamer basket along with 0.5 pound of trimmed green beans.

5. 5

   Steam the chicken and green beans for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the beans are tender-crisp.

6. 6

   While the chicken is steaming, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

7. 7

   Stir in 0.25 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme, and the juice from the remaining half of the 1 lemon into the melted butter to create a flavorful herbed lemon butter sauce.

8. 8

   Serve the steamed chicken and green beans immediately, drizzling generously with the warm herbed lemon butter sauce.
