Lemony garlicky green beans

- I don't remember where I originally found this recipe but it's so simple that I make it fairly often.

Ingredients:

1 to 2 lbs of green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup of chicken broth
2 garlic cloves (crushed/minced)
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 small lemon

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, bring the chicken broth and the garlic to a boil.

2. Add the green beans and simmer, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender (I like it when they're still a bit firm but that's up to you).

3. While the beans are cooking, slice up the lemon into thin slices.

4. Remove the green beans to a serving dish and drizzle with the olive oil.

5. Dump the lemons on top and give the whole thing a good stir. Enjoy!

- You can use the leftover chicken broth from the beans to flavor any gravy you might be making, just don't dump it out if you're intending to use it. :-)
