Ingredients
Casserole:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Topping:
2 cups crushed butter crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms until softened and fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sautéed vegetables, peas, corn, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the vegetable and cream mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Lay cooked chicken breasts on top.
In a small bowl, mix crushed butter crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestions
