Sauté the shallots and garlic
- Melt the butter in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat.
- Cook the shallots until they start to soften, then add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.
Cook the green beans
- Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the buttery garlic and shallots.
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Increase the heat to high and add the chicken stock.
- Cover the skillet with the lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender but still bright green, about 5-7 minutes. The chicken stock will have evaporated by the time they’re done.
