Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, fresh green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy filling.
  3. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole mixture.
  5. First Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
  6. Add Crispy Onions: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top for a crunchy crust.
  7. Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crispy fried onions have turned golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use cooked, shredded chicken from leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Fresh green beans can be lightly steamed before mixing if you prefer a softer texture.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences and dietary needs.
  • The crispy fried onions add great texture but can be replaced with breadcrumbs or omitted for a less crunchy topping.
  • If you want a richer casserole, substitute milk with half-and-half or cream.
