(Edit by Kristine: the recipe is here )

I made this recipe last night. It was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!
Does anyone know the approx carb count for that?

This is what Calculated in FitDay for the Cheesy Green Bean Chicken Casserole

Total: 2907
Fat: 193 1733 61%
Sat: 75 676 24%
Poly: 41 370 13%
Mono: 63 568 20%
Carbs: 43 120 4%
Fiber: 13 0 0%
Protein: 249 995 35%
Alcohol: 0 0 0%

So if the carbs are 43 and the fiber is 13 does that make this 30 effective carbs? So then if the recipe serves 4 it is approx 7.5 grabs per serving right?

I also highly recommend this. It was almost orgasmic in flavors. Best Low Carb thing I have tried so far.

The name of it sounds good

Where can I get the recipe?

I found it under the Orange Low Carb Recipe tab above.
At the top of that page is a small link for "go to readers low carb recipes"
Under the Poultry topic
But here it is just in case.

Cheesy Chicken Green Bean Casserole

By : Sharon


Here's an idea I got from the Atkin's Friends group, specifically Dottie. I changed the recipe to use the items I had in the frig.

Cheesy Chicken Green Bean Casserole


2 cans french cut greenbeans - well drained
1 can (4 oz) mushrooms (I used fresh)
1/2 of a med. yellow onion sliced very thin and separated into rings
2 stalks celery, sliced small
2 tbsp butter

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup assorted cheese cut into small dice (cheddar, jack, pepperjack, etc.) (I used a variety of shredded cheeses I had on hand)
1/2 tsp lite salt and 1/4 tsp. regular salt (or 3/4 tsp any)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

boneless chicken breasts (I used 5 small ones)

I use boneless chicken breasts to make a one dish casserole by first browning the chicken in a skillet until almost cooked. I put the chicken in the bottom of a casserole dish, and then added the butter to the skillet and sauteed the onions, celery and mushrooms until soft. Mix (everything together) the mayonnaise and cream, s&p, garlic powder, veggies and cheeses and pour over the chicken breasts. Cover and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Uncover and brown if desired.

Serves 4.

You could make the casserole without the chicken and just have a vegetable casserole if you desired. If you don't include the meat, you probably could cook at little less time. You could also add a few sliced almonds.

This is really yummy, my DH and I LOVE it!!! Thanks for the counts, I'll have to check it against what I have.

The asparagus variation of this is also great -- snap ends off 1 bunch asparagus, chop into 2" pieces, steam ~5 min until about halfway done, and throw into the mixture instead of the green beans.

I also use chicken thighs instead of breasts -- gives it even more flavor and richness, and ups the fat ratios too. I brown the thighs, then pull them into shreds and mix them in with the veggies instead of placing them whole into the casserole dish.

I Made This The Other Night For A Bunch Of Friends (low Carbers & Non Low Carbers Alike) And They All Absolutley Loved It & Asked Me For The Recipe! Thank You For Posting It!

I made this today cause I was running out of things to fix and it was quick and easy to prepare, not to mention EXTREMELY good. I promise low carb feels just like cheating and this dish definitely does the same. IT WAS GOOD!

Beans, beans, beans....delish.

made this .... excellent !!!!!!
