Bacon and Chive Green Bean Coins

• 4 strips center-cut bacon, finely chopped
• 1 pound green and/or wax beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick small coins
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons snipped chives
• 1 lemon

1. Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until browned and the fat has rendered, about 4 minutes.
2. Add the green beans and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the beans are just bright green.
3. Add 2 tablespoons water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
4. Transfer the beans to a serving dish and toss in the chives.
5. Zest the lemon directly over the beans and season to taste with salt and pepper.
