Are you looking for a simple yet tasty vegetable side dish? This one might just become a favorite. We first tasted a similar recipe at a place in the LA area called Koo Koo Roo. It’s a casual chicken restaurant offering the most amazing skinless chicken and many wonderful, healthy side dishes, like this one. We’ve recreated these delectable green beans. The skinny on 1 serving is just 48 calories, 2 grams of fat, and only 1 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. There’s a lot of flavor in such low facts!
