1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic minced
½ cup chicken broth or water

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon. When fully cooked remove the bacon, but lease the grease in the pan.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce heat to low.
Add the chicken broth and scrap the bottom to remove the browned bits.
Add the green beans. Stir.
Cover and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes until green beans and chicken are fully cooked.
