Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans; blanch until crisp but tender, 2-3 minutes. Immediately drain beans and run cold water over them or plunge them into an ice bath to cool and stop the cooking process. Drain and dry.
In a large skillet, melt butter and add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, to taste; add mustard. Cook mushrooms, 5-8 minutes until they give off most of their liquid. Using a whisk, add the garlic and flour to the mushrooms. Stir to incorporate; add chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Stir in the cream and sour cream; bring to a simmer, tasting to adjust seasoning. Cook mixture until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
Assembly:
Stir green beans into the mushroom mixture; simmer on the stove, until the green beans become tender.
