SIMPLE SKILLET GREEN BEANS

I've been following Mel for years. This recipe is my absolute favorite way to enjoy fresh green beans. Thanks, Mel!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon oil or butter
• 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
• 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil or butter over medium heat.
2. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, to crisp the edges of the beans just slightly.
3. Pour in the broth and bring the beans/broth to a simmer.
4. Cover the skillet and cook anywhere from 6-10 minutes, depending on how tender you like your green beans.
5. Keep an eye on the skillet- if it is simmering too vigorously and the liquid evaporates out, add a bit more as needed.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
