Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Amish Chicken and Green Bean Bake

Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks	2 pounds
Frozen cut green beans (do not thaw)	1 bag (24 ounces)
Condensed cream of mushroom soup	1 can (10.5 ounces)
Dry onion soup mix	1 packet (1 ounce)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

1. Preheat the Oven – About 5 Minutes

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

2. Add the Green Beans – About 2 Minutes

Spread the frozen green beans evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. They can go straight from the freezer into the dish—no thawing is necessary.

3. Mix the Sauce – About 3 Minutes

In a small bowl, stir together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and the dry onion soup mix until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be thick and flavorful.

Step 2: Assemble and Bake

1. Layer the Sauce – About 3 Minutes

Spoon the soup mixture evenly over the green beans, gently spreading it with the back of a spoon or spatula. It doesn’t need to completely cover every bean, as it will spread while baking.

2. Add the Chicken – About 5 Minutes

Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and arrange them skin-side up over the green bean layer. Leave a little space between each piece so the skin can brown more evenly.

3. Bake – 50 to 60 Minutes

Place the casserole on the center oven rack and bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The sauce should be bubbling around the edges.

4. Rest Before Serving – 5 Minutes

For extra-crispy chicken skin, place the dish under the upper part of the oven or briefly under the broiler during the last few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce can thicken slightly.

Serve warm and enjoy this easy, hearty casserole with your favorite bread, mashed potatoes, or a simple side salad.
