Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove the stem ends of the green beans.
Roast the green beans
On a lined sheet pan, toss the green beans with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Roast, 5 to 8 min., until crisp-tender. In the final 2 min., add ⅔ of the garlic; toss well.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with all but a pinch of the remaining spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Make the pico de gallo
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Medium-dice the tomatoes. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, cilantro, remaining garlic, ½ the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Make the spiced mayo & serve
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, remaining spices and vinegar, and S&P. Divide the spiced mayo between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the green beans and chicken. Top the chicken with the pico de gallo. Bon appétit!
