Tired of ho-hum side dishes? This simple side has only 5 ingredients and will brighten up any meal. Cooking fresh green beans with chicken broth and garlic gives them a wonderful flavor, while almonds add a delicious crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed (about 4 1/2 cups)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Swanson® Chicken Broth or Organic 100% Natural Chicken Broth or Natural Goodness Lower Sodium Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup toasted sliced or slivered almonds (optional)
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 2
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the broth and heat to a boil, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook for 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Sprinkle with the almonds, if desired.
