Ingredients
Instructions

- Melt margarine and mix with cracker crumbs. Spread crumb mixture on top of the chicken mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of chicken broth to the mixture. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise. You can also use fresh vegetables like bell peppers or peas instead of Veg-All for a more vibrant dish. This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until you're ready to bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this casserole with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Chicken Broccoli With Rice for a hearty dinner. For a complete spread, consider adding garlic bread or dinner rolls on the side. This dish is also great for potlucks or family gatherings.

You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal, but the oven will help maintain the crispy topping.
