Green Bean & Chicken Casserole

Blog slacker here!!!  :-)  So I made an awesome dinner tonight.  I've taken a traditionally great Thanksgiving side dish and made it into a meal.  I made green bean and chicken casserole and it turned out delicious.  It's also VERY easy.  The portions are probably for a double batch... so if you are cooking for one to two people, I would cut the recipe in half.  It would pair great with a salad or even some Pillsbury biscuits, but we just ate it by itself.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 - 16oz packages frozen green beans, thawed
2 cans Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom
1 can Healthy Request Cream of Chicken
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 large can French Fried Onions
Garlic Salt
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2.  In a large cooking skillet, spray warm pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Cook chicken on high heat until cooked completely through (no pink).  Season with garlic salt and pepper.
3.  Place thawed green beans, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, cheese and cooked chicken in the casserole dish.  Mix well.  Add half of the can of French Fried Onions.  Mix in well.
4.  Place in oven, uncovered and bake for 45 minutes, or until bubbly.  Add remaining French Fried Onions to top of casserole and bake another 5 minutes.
5.  Remove from oven and let set 10 minutes.
6.  Serve warm.

Side Notes:
1.  You can also use left over chicken you have or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred for this dish.
2.  You could also add other veggies to give it flair.  Frozen corn, peppers, carrots... whatever you like.

Enjoy!
