How to Make Chicken Green Bean Casserole

In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute until smooth.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2 minutes).
Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Stir in 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of green beans, drained, and 2 cups of cooked chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces. Toss gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
