Ingredients:

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks

How to Make Amish Chicken and Green Bean Casserole

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Layer the green beans evenly in the bottom of the dish (use them frozen).

3. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with the onion soup mix until smooth.

4. Spread the sauce evenly over the green beans.

5. Add the chicken: Place chicken pieces on top, skin-side up, pressing slightly into the sauce.

6. Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C) and golden brown.

7. Rest & serve: Let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve with the rich sauce spooned over the top.

Cooking Tips & Variations:

For extra creaminess: Add 1/4 cup milk or half-and-half to the sauce
Swap protein: Use chicken breasts (adjust cooking time to 40–45 minutes)
Soup options: Cream of chicken or cream of celery also work well
Extra browning: Broil for the last 5 minutes (watch closely)
Easy cleanup: Spray or line your baking dish before starting
