Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 120 milliliters sour cream
- 120 milliliters chicken broth
- 120 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 grams fried onions
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 15 milliliters olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with half the salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to cool, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
Trim the green beans and blanch them by boiling in salted water for 3-4 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until well combined. Heat through but do not boil. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, blanched green beans, soup mixture, and half the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and fried onions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
