📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, ⏱️ 1 minute. Gradually whisk in wine and stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 4 to ⏱️ 6 minutes.

Whisk in cream cheese, one piece at a time, then Parmesan, until smooth. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in chicken, barley, green beans, and parsley. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan.

Melt the remaining tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add cheese crackers and stir to coat; sprinkle over casserole. Bake until golden and bubbly, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes.

Let stand ⏱️ 10 minutes before serving.
