Ingredients
2 cans (14.5 oz each) cut green beans, drained
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/3 cups crispy fried onions, divided
1/2 cup diced smoked chicken strips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushroom soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, and the smoked chicken strips.
Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
Add the drained green beans and 2/3 cup of the crispy fried onions to the bowl.
Stir gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Pour the mixture into a 1.5-quart baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and hot.
Remove the dish, sprinkle the remaining 2/3 cup of crispy onions over the top.
Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the onions are golden brown.
Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to maintain the crunch. Substitutions: If using fresh green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 5 minutes first for tenderness. Texture Boost: Add a pinch of garlic powder for extra depth. Variations: Mix in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or sautéed mushrooms.
