Serving Size: 1/2 cup
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 tsp. olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
8 oz. trimmed green beans
1/4 cup fat-free lower-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon
5 large basil leaves, thinly sliced
Preparation
1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute for 3 minutes.
2. Add the green beans. Use tongs to turn them and coat with the shallots. Add the broth, and cover and steam for 4 minutes, until the green beans turn bright green but are still crisp. Add the grape tomatoes, cover, and steam for 1 minute. Uncover and continue to cook until the grape tomatoes are just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and black pepper.
3. Stir in the lemon and basil, and serve.
