3) While the chicken cooks, prepare the dressing. Combine lemon juice and minced garlic in a medium bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and thyme, and whisk to incorporate. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5) Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove from packaging and cut into ½-inch thick pieces. Divide mixed greens between plates and drizzle with 1 tbsp dressing. Top greens with chicken, green beans, radish, and avocado. Drizzle more dressing over each serving.

To make this meal on the stovetop, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through (160°F with an instant-read thermometer). Remove chicken from the pan and add the green beans. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk dressing ingredients together. Divide mesclun mix, radishes, avocado, and green beans between plates. Shred chicken and divide between plates. Season with dressing and serve.
