Darv's Chicken & Green Bean Casserole

I like to pick on Jon and tell him that I am making "white people" food aka casseroles, but the truth is that I love casseroles because you just mix a bunch of stuff together, add cheese, and bake!  My mother-in-law, Donna, passed this recipe on to me recently and I am so glad she did!  This dish was fairly uncomplicated and extremely delicious.

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons of smart balance butter
• 6 tablespoons of flour
• 1 1/2 cups fat free low sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cups (soy or fat free) milk
• 2 teaspoons lite soy sauce
• 2/3 cup light grated parmesan cheese
• 8 cups green beans, cooked (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 2 cups coooked chicken, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan melt butter, then stir in flour, add chicken broth, milk, soy sauce, salt & pepper.
2. Bring to a boil - cook and stir for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat.
3. Stir in 1/3 cup parmesan cheese.  (Sauce will be thick! Do not try to thin out)
4. Add green beans and chicken.
5. Put into a 2 quart greased baking dish and sprinkle remaining cheese.
6. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
