Chicken Green Bean Casserole is a family favorite for dinners and holidays. With chicken, stuffing, gravy, and green beans – it has a little bit of everything!
This is one of the best savory casseroles, similar to both Green Bean Casserole and Chicken Stuffing Casserole, but with chicken, green beans, and stuffing.
Chicken + Stuffing + Green Beans
Casserole dishes are some of our very favorites for dinner, and especially the holidays.
We know that dishes like Twice Baked Potato Casserole and Green Bean Casserole are favorites, but today we are hoping to introduce you to another dish that you will love.
This Chicken Green Bean casserole is now a favorite because:
- A little of everything. With chicken, green beans and stuffing (and flavor), it’s hard not to love it.
- Simple. There are a few steps needed to prep the chicken, stuffing, and veggies, but they’re easy and result is amazing.
- Great for holidays. With the chicken, this dish is hearty and perfect for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
ASSEMBLING YOUR Casserole
- STUFFING. To begin, prepare the stuffing according to package directions.
- CHICKEN. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter on medium heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with pepper. Cook for 7-9 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Place chicken in a sprayed 9×13 baking dish.
- GREEN BEANS. In the same skillet, cook and stir beans for about 6 minutes, or until beans are crisp-tender. Sprinkle with flour and stir for an additional minute. Stir in broth and let simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Spoon over chicken and top with stuffing.
- BAKE. Bake the Chicken Green Bean Casserole uncovered at 400 for 30 minutes or until heated through.
Recipe Tips
- Can I use frozen green beans? You can definitely use frozen green beans. Be sure to still trim them to bite sized pieces, or you can buy a frozen package where the beans have already been cut. Also, you may need to cook them a few minutes longer than the recipe states.
- Can I add extra gravy? Of course! In step 3 add an additional ⅛ of flour and an additional ¾ cup of chicken broth to help create more gravy in the casserole.
Making Ahead of Time + Storing
MAKE AHEAD. This is an ideal make ahead recipe! You can keep it covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking it.
FREEZE. Before Baking. Prepare the casserole as directed, except under cook the green beans. Cover the casserole with plastic wrap and again with aluminum foil. Freeze both for 2-3 months. Thaw, then make the stuffing and add to the top of the casserole and bake.
STORE leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven. I do not recommend freezing leftovers as the green beans will wilt and the stuffing will become soggy.
