🥘 Ingredients
Zone 1 - Chicken
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Zone 2 - Green Beans
  • 12 oz fresh green beans (trimmed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Garnish
  • toasted almonds (sliced, for garnish)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pound chicken to even 3/4-inch thickness. Marinate with lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt for at least 15 min. Shared 💡 The acid in lemon juice starts to tenderize chicken immediately.
  2. Trim green beans. Toss with olive oil and salt. Spread in the 8×8 pan. Shared 💡 A single layer gives the best blistering — do not stack.
  3. Preheat zone1 at 380°F and zone2 at 390°F for 3 minutes. Shared 💡 Green beans want higher heat for quick blistering.
  4. Set zone1 to 380°F for 16 min (chicken). Set zone2 to 390°F for 10 min (green beans). Enable Smart Finish. Shared 💡 Smart Finish delays zone2 so beans start later — they blister fast.
  5. Start cooking. Place chicken in zone1 basket immediately. Shared 💡 Chicken goes in first since it needs the full 16 minutes.
  6. When zone2 alert sounds (6 min in), place green bean pan in zone2. Shared 💡 The short cook time at high heat gives the beans those perfect charred blisters.
  7. When Smart Finish signals done, check chicken reaches 165°F. Rest 5 min. Toss green beans with toasted almonds. Shared 💡 Toasted almonds add crunch that contrasts beautifully with the blistered beans.
💡 Ninja Tips

Smart Finish with chicken starting first and beans joining later is a perfect use case. The chicken at 380°F stays moist, while beans blast at 390°F for quick char. Marinate chicken for deeper flavor if you have time.

Scaling: To double: cook in two batches. To halve: 1 breast, 6 oz beans.
