INSTRUCTIONS

1
Prepare a medium-sized bowl, place the chicken thigh fillets in it, add ground paprika, salt, and pepper, and mix. Place the seasoned fillets in a cold pan and start heating over high heat. Slowly render the fat from the skin, which will take 5–7 minutes, and reduce the heat to medium as needed. Then turn the fillets, add canola oil to the pan, and fry for another 6–7 minutes over medium heat.
2
Meanwhile, clean the beans and trim their ends. Peel and crush the garlic. Finely chop the parsley.
3
After frying the fillets on both sides, remove them from the pan, reduce the heat to low, add the beans and canola oil to the pan, and fry for 3–4 minutes. Then add butter, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper, and fry for 1–2 minutes. Next, add the chopped parsley and chili flakes and fry for 30–60 seconds. Finally, return the fried fillets to the pan to reheat, and fry for 1–2 minutes over low to medium heat. Then remove everything from the heat and serve immediately.

If using frozen beans, reduce the cooking time by about 2–3 minutes.
