And round out any meal with Italian Green Beans from Rudy Martino. The sharpness of the Parmesan cheese goes nicely with the tangy flavor of the chicken. “This has been a family favorite for many years,” writes the Lombard, Illinois reader.

SERVINGS: 2

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Other stovetop

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound fresh or frozen cut green beans
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons Crisco® Light Olive Oil

Place beans and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic salt and pepper. Drain beans; drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with cheese mixture and toss to coat. Yield: 2 servings.


  • Re: Italian Green Beans

    I added sliced almonds for a dinner party and swapped garlic powder for the garlic salt (not too fond of garlic salt - too salty for me). I also used multi-cracked pepper (pink, red, green, black, etc.) and it was a SUPER HIT!! Think when the farmer's market is in full swing and everything is in season other herbs would enhance the green beans - or I might add other fresh veggies to extend the batch for bbq get togethers. Thanks, Rudy, I'm always looking for new recipes for green beans since I LOVE them!
