Garlic-Lemon Green Beans With Toasted Bread Crumbs

Ingredients

2 slices hearty white sandwich bread, torn into quarters
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1-1⁄2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Pulse bread in food processor to fine, even crumbs, about 10 pulses. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and stir in Parmesan, 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
Wipe out skillet. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour, thyme, and pepper flakes, then add green beans. Add chicken broth, increase heat to medium-high, cover, and cook until beans are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Off heat, stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to serving dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and serve.
