Lemon Chicken Skillet Dinner

The other night I made a delicious chicken meal that had mushrooms, potatoes, and green beans cooked with chicken breasts.  They were cooked together in a nice herb sauce.  The chicken was moist, tender, and flavorful.  The veggies were also very flavorful and not over cooked. 

This meal  was very easy and it came together nicely.   You cook your potatoes for about 12 minutes or until they are tender.  While the potatoes were cooking, I started preparing the chicken.  Once the chicken was cooked, the potatoes, mushrooms, and thyme were added to the skillet. A flour mixture, chicken stock, lemon slices, and beans were then added to the skillet and cooked until the beans were crisp.  That is it.  Your dinner is ready:)
