For Chicken

Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with the seasoning salt, cayenne, and black pepper; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium, add the chicken, and cook, covered, for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover, and cook until the juices run clear, another 4 minutes or internal temp is 165 degrees. Drizzle the chicken with the pan juices when serving.

For Green Beans

Heat olive oil in pan on the stove at medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant/slightly translucent. Add green beans, salt + pepper to the pan. Sauté green beans and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add water. Cover and steam on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover, add almonds, and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until liquid has evaporated from the pan.
