Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans canned green beans
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 small (finely diced) yellow onion
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned green beans in a colander and rinse them well under cold water to remove excess sodium.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the butter and oil mixture.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the broth has evaporated and the green beans are infused with flavor.
Step 7
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Serve the green beans warm as a flavorful side dish.
