How to make this easy 3-ingredient Chicken Green Bean Casserole

First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This roaster pot is similar to mine and works great for this one-pot recipe.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, green beans, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.

Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 35–40 minutes. Sprinkle with shredded cheese or crispy onions, and bake uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, couscous, rice, or a side of warm dinner rolls.

Tips and Substitutions

  • Substitute cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor of cream soup.
  • Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar or mozzarella for an extra creamy texture.
  • Use fresh or frozen green beans instead of canned if you prefer a fresher bite.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
