Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while we prepare our filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese. I always find it satisfying to see these ingredients come together, creating that creamy texture. Add the mixed vegetables, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir until everything is well combined. You can smell the inviting blend of spices and chicken already!
