Recipe: Green Beans with Citrus Butter Sauce

GREEN BEANS WITH CITRUS BUTTER SAUCE

1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes; drain well. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add orange peel, lemon peel, and garlic and stir 1 minute. Add broth and simmer 1 minute; add butter and beans. Toss until beans are heated through and sauce coats beans, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
