Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans Canned green beans
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain the liquid from the canned green beans and rinse them under cold water to remove excess sodium.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the flavorful liquid.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, allowing the green beans to absorb the flavors.
Before serving, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the green beans for a bright and fresh finish.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
