Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved and seeded
1 cup chicken broth
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic in the hot oil until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir beans into the oil; season with salt. Cook and stir the beans until hot, about 5 minutes. Stir tomatoes into the beans; cook and stir until the tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes more.
Pour broth over the beans mixture; stir. Cook the mixture at a simmer until the liquid reduced in volume by about half, about 15 minutes. Season with pepper.
