Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Necessary ingredients:
- 500-600 g chicken breast (one casserole)
- 2 medium onions
- 250 g diced tomatoes (Cirio canned is an excellent choice)
- 400 g green beans (you can also use frozen, available in supermarkets)
- 30 g butter
- 50 g flour
- 250 ml beer (choose a pale beer for a balanced taste)
- 250 ml chicken broth (or water with a broth cube)
- 120 g light sour cream (12%)
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by placing the green beans in a pot of boiling water. Boil for 5-7 minutes until slightly crisp. Then drain and set aside. This step will preserve the vibrant color and firm texture of the beans.

2. Make the broth: If you don't have ready-made chicken broth, bring 250 ml of water to a boil and add a broth cube (Knorr or another preferred brand). This will add a rich flavor to your dish.

3. Prepare the meat: Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized cubes for uniform cooking. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden.

4. Add the onion: Slice the onion thinly and add it to the skillet with the chicken. Continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. The aroma of sautéed onion will transform this dish into a true delicacy.

5. Incorporate the sauce: Pour the chicken broth and beer into the skillet, bringing the mixture to a boil. Add the boiled green beans to the mixture. Allow everything to simmer on low heat for 5 minutes so that the flavors meld together.

6. Thicken the sauce: Sprinkle the flour in a rain over the mixture, stirring continuously with a spatula to avoid lumps. The flour will thicken the sauce, giving it a creamy consistency.

7. Finalize the dish: Add the diced tomatoes to the sauce and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Towards the end, add the sour cream, stirring well to incorporate. It’s important to add the sour cream just before turning off the heat to prevent curdling.

8. Season: Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to your liking. If you want an extra touch of freshness, you can also add finely chopped parsley.
