Steps:
- Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water and cool. Drain and pat dry. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If you're using frozen green beans, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Pecans can be toasted in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- If you don't have any pecans, you can substitute another type of nut, such as walnuts or almonds.
- This dish can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If you're serving it as a main course, you can add some grilled chicken or tofu.
- For a vegan version of this dish, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
