Unavailable totals are not estimated. Known allergens for these plates: none listed; check every product label. Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - The publisher does not provide verified nutrition values; nutrition remains unreported. - Source distributes oregano and oil across three preparations without measured splits. This adaptation keeps the listed totals and uses small portions for the beans and chicken, with most oregano in the sauce. - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested. - The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total. - Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness. ## Leftovers Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate. ## Sources - [Christina Cherrier: Garlic Lemon Chicken Breasts with Green Beans](https://www.eatwell101.com/garlic-lemon-chicken-and-green-beans-skillet) - [FoodSafety.gov: safe minimum internal temperatures](https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures) These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers.
