Preheat an oven to 400 F. Trim the ends of all the green beans. Also, cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and season with ½ tsp kosher salt. Heat a large cast iron skillet (or other ovenproof nonstick skillet) over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 ½ tbsp olive oil and swirl the pan. Add the green beans and toss well to coat in olive oil. Cook for 1 minute and then remove the beans to a bowl.
Step 2
Add remaining oil to the skillet. Since the pan is already hot, add the chicken breasts shiny side down and sear very well, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Flip and repeat on the other side.
Step 4
Move chicken to one side of the pan and add the green beans back.
Step 5
Place skillet in oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to 165 F. In the meantime, combine salted butter and hot sauce in a microwave safe container and microwave on high until melted (about 20 seconds). Brush cooked chicken with buttery-hot sauce and serve immediately.
