1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, coat chicken pieces with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix cream of chicken soup with one cup of shredded cheese; pour over the chicken. Add frozen vegetables on top.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over everything.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or basil before serving for an extra flavor boost.
Swap out the mixed vegetables depending on what you have on hand—broccoli or bell peppers work well too.
