Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Brown Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken until golden on each side, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms until soft. Add peas and corn, cooking for an additional few minutes.

Mix Sauce: Whisk together cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and sour cream.

Layer Casserole: Place chicken in the baking dish. Top with vegetables, then pour the sauce mixture evenly. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Add Crispy Topping: Combine crushed crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

Complement this hearty casserole with a fresh garden salad or serve it alongside a variety of dipping sauces like marinara, garlic butter, or ranch for an added layer of flavor. A refreshing iced tea or a glass of white wine would perfectly round off this meal.
