Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook and shred the chicken if not using pre-cooked chicken.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Fold in the shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  5. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
  6. In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
  7. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.’, ‘Add the breadcrumb topping just before baking if preparing ahead to keep it crispy.’, ‘Season the creamy base to taste for the best flavor.’, ‘Feel free to customize with herbs, spices, or additional ingredients like bacon or jalapeños.’]
