Ingredients
•
1 (10 ounce) can low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
•
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen cauliflower and broccoli mix
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1 1/2 cups milk
•
3/4 teaspoon salt
•
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
•
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
•
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs, or more to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Combine 1/2 of the condensed soup and an equal amount of water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Heat 1 frozen, unopened bag of cauliflower and broccoli mix in the microwave until hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Let stand for about 2 minutes; open the bag and transfer vegetables to a medium bowl. Repeat with the remaining bag.
4
Melt butter in another large saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and salt; stir in remaining condensed soup. Add flour slowly, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Add Cheddar cheese. Cook and stir until cheese sauce is thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic powder.
5
Layer 1/2 of the vegetables into the bottom of a baking pan or casserole dish. Top with 1/2 of the cooked chicken and pour in 1/2 of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs in a light layer. Repeat layers with remaining vegetables, chicken, cheese sauce, and bread crumbs. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.
