Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Stir flour into melted butter until smooth; cook for 1 minute. (1 minute)

04

Step

Stir sour cream, onion, garlic powder, sugar, nutmeg, salt, and pepper into the flour mixture until evenly mixed; add ground chicken and green beans. (3 minutes)

05

Cook and stir mixture until chicken is completely browned and the onion is translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

10

Step

Bake in preheated oven until top is golden and cheese is bubbly, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use freshly grated nutmeg.
If you prefer a less mushy texture, substitute the ground chicken with cooked, cubed chicken breast.
Serve with brown rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette complements this casserole beautifully.

    This casserole is a regular in our dinner rotation! The kids love it, and it's so easy to throw together.

  • Orlando Dibbert

    I found it a little bland, so I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.

  • Katelyn Schmidt

    I substituted the ground chicken with turkey and it was still delicious!
