Ingredients:

Serving

2 slices sandwich bread , tear into quarters (use a good quality bread, soft whole wheat is ok)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
6 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp unbleached all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp minced fresh thyme leave
1 1/2 lbs green beans, ends trimmed
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
table salt , to taste
ground black pepper , to taste

Directions:

In a food processor, pulse bread about ten 1 second pulses until fine, even crumbs.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer to medium bowl and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and Parmesan; 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, red pepper flakes, and thyme, and then toss in green beans.
Add chicken broth and increase heat to medium-high; cover and cook until beans are partly tender but still crisp at center, about 4 minutes.
Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
Transfer to serving dish, sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs, and serve.
