Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 450 grams green beans, trimmed
- 1 can (about 10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 120 milliliters (about 1/2 cup) sour cream
- 120 grams (about 1 cup) shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 milliliters (about 1/4 cup) milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 grams (about 1/2 cup) breadcrumbs
- 30 grams (about 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked at this stage. Remove from the heat and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the blanched green beans and chicken pieces to the mixture and gently toss to coat.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Chicken and Green Bean Casserole!
