Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat; add 1 T. butter; add seasoned chicken, skin-side down; sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken thighs; set aside.
Drain off the excess fat, leaving about 1 T. in the pan; return skillet to medium heat; add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add dried thyme, honey, lemon zest and juice. Bring sauce to a simmer; stir to combine. Reduce heat to low.
Return chicken to the pan; coat each piece with the sauce. Move chicken to one side of the pan; add green beans and cherry tomatoes to the open space in the pan. Transfer the skillet to the oven; bake until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
4 servings.
To make the sauce thicker, after the chicken is finished in the oven, remove the veggies from the pan; place over heat to reduce the sauce.
