Green Bean and Chicken Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• rice - long grain uncooked rice
• pre-cooked chicken - using pre-cooked che=icken makes this recipe super easy.  If you prefer cooking the chicken yourself the I suggest using thighs because they stay moist and tender. 
• cream of mushroom soup - use undiluted since you want a thick sauce. Instead of cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute cream of broccoli soup. 
• cut green beans - my recipe using canned cut green beans.
• onions - diced onions
• fresh green pepper - dice fine
• onion soup mix - the classic Liptons or Knorr are easy to find.
• colby cheese - I prefer a milder cheese but you can use any cheese
• dried onions - these are optional

A couple of cooking tips.
