Preparation
Start the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pat the chicken dry and drizzle with oil; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken and cook, partially covered, 3 to 4 min. per side, until partially cooked.
- Transfer to a plate and reserve the pot.
Roast the green beans
- Meanwhile, quarter the lemon.
- Remove the stem ends of the green beans.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the green beans with ½ the garlic, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender.
- Squeeze the juice of ½ the lemon wedges over.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pot, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the ginger, and remaining garlic and spices. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
- Add the cream and 1 cup water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to thicken.
Finish the chicken
- To the pot, add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min., until cooked through.
