Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 (8-ounce) container mushrooms sliced
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) bag green beans
1 pound chicken breasts cooked, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup sliced almonds divided
1/4 cup parmesan grated

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the mushrooms to the butter and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, the sour cream, the onion powder, the garlic powder, the black pepper, and the salt and beat with an electric hand mixer until combined.
Add the green beans, the cooked chicken, the cooked mushrooms, and 1/4 cup of the almonds to the cream cheese mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the green bean mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle the casserole with the remaining sliced almonds and the parmesan cheese.
Bake the casserole until it is cooked through and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
Serve.
