- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup crispy fried onions (French’s crispy onions work great)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Add the cooked chicken and green beans to the bowl with the sauce, and gently toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, toss the crispy fried onions with olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until it is heated through and the topping is golden and crispy.
Notes
If you prefer a creamier sauce, add a little more milk or sour cream to the mixture. For added flavor, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole along with the crispy onion topping. Serve alongside mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a simple salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
