Chicken Mixture

• 1–2 lbs Chicken Breasts, boneless, skinless, diced
• 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (10.5 oz)
• 1/3 cup Sour Cream
• 16 oz Frozen Mixed Vegetables
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Stuffing

• 1 box Stove Top Stuffing (chicken flavored)
• Cooking spray for the baking pan

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is golden and crispy on top.

Notes

• You can swap frozen mixed vegetables with fresh or canned vegetables of your choice.
• For extra flavor, consider adding herbs such as thyme or parsley to the chicken mixture.
• If you prefer a crispier stuffing topping, you can broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 2-3 days.
• Make sure chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
