Cheesy Chicken Green Bean Bake

Cheesy chicken green bean bake is a delicious and easy dinner option that is perfect for busy weeknights. This dish is made with chicken breast, green beans, and a creamy cheese sauce that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

I know I've posted this recipe before, but this is an upgrade to one of my most favorite recipes ever! Chicken Cheese Hotdish!

My Dad has this hot dish that my whole family loves. It has chicken, green beans, cheese, and rice in it. It takes a while to prepare because you have to brown the chicken and boil the rice, then bake it in the oven for 30 minutes.

I was watching one of those videos on Tasty's facebook page the other day ago, and they had this recipe called Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Bake. The video showed everything including the rice being cooked in one dish. How brilliant! I can use that idea to make my Dad's casserole dish and sure enough, it worked! It was still the same creamy cheesy casserole that everyone loves and I saved a couple of dishes and steps doing it that way. I'll be using that method from now on.

Ingredients Needed

• Chicken breasts - They’re lean and quick-cooking and always come out juicy and tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that the chicken is not over cooked.  When reading labels for chicken breasts try to find ones that say Organic or Free Range. 
• White instant rice or brown instant rice - I've tested this recipe with other types of whole grain rice and it takes longer to bake in the oven. Not sure what the time would be for cauliflower rice.
• Onion powder is dehydrated, ground onion that is commonly used as a seasoning. Some people do not like the taste of freshly chopped onion so onion powder is a great substitute if you have a picky eater like that in your h
• Cream of chicken - Condensed chicken soup is a highly concentrated form of chicken soup that has had most of its water removed.
• Low-fat cheddar cheese or colby jack cheese , shredded
• French-style green beans, drained
• Chicken broth - The best type of chicken stock to use is one that is homemade. For canned stock, I look for ones that say reduced sodium or fat free.
• Extra cheddar cheese for topping
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to Make Chicken Green Bean Casserole
