STRING BEANS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for just 1 1/2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When they are cool, drain and set aside.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a very large saute pan over medium heat and cook the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned. Add the string beans, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss together. Reheat the string beans and serve.

GARLIC CHICKEN BREAST WITH STRING BEANS

• Heat vegetable oil in wok(or large nonstick skiller) over high heat until quite hot. Add chicken; cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until chicken begins to brown and is cooked through. Remove with slotted spoon to serving dish.
• Return wok or skillet to high heat; add onion, garlic and black-bean sauce. Quickly stir in green beans and bell pepper. Add 1/4 C water, cover, and cook 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH GARLICKY GREEN BEANS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Toss the green beans, garlic cloves and sage leaves with ¼ cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer on a sheet pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Arrange among the green beans and season with black pepper; scoot any green beans out from under the chicken. (It's okay if the green beans are clumped together.) Roast, tossing the green beans occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the green beans are dark green and wrinkled, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Stir the vinegar into the green beans and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the green beans and garlic to the platter, scraping all the pan drippings and browned bits from the pan.
• Eat the chicken with the green beans, cloves of roasted garlic and a spoonful of the pan drippings. Optionally, if you'd like the chicken's skin to be more browned, return the chicken to the sheet pan and broil until golden.
