Step-By-Step Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, cumin, and honey together to form a smooth, thick paste. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Fill the pan with enough cold water to cover the potatoes. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are simmering, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Mist the skillet with olive oil spray. Add the chicken, smooth side down. Brown for 2 minutes. Flip and brown for 2 more minutes.
- Spoon the honey mixture over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170° F.
- While the chicken finishes cooking, add the green beans to the pan with the potatoes and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the stove. Drain the vegetables, place them in a bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Serve the veggies with the chicken.
