Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of sour cream to the chicken mixture. If you want to enhance the flavor, try using homemade cream of mushroom soup instead of canned. You can substitute the frozen mixed vegetables with fresh ones if available, but make sure to blanch them beforehand. For a twist, add some shredded cheese over the top before baking.
