  • 2skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 2(10 ounce) packagesfrozen cauliflower and broccoli mix
  • 2tablespoonsbutter
  • 1 ½cupsmilk
  • ¾teaspoonsalt
  • 3tablespoonsall-purpose flour
  • 1 ½cupsshredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
  • 1pinchgarlic powder, or to taste
  • ½cupseasoned bread crumbs, or more to taste

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    Combine 1/2 of the condensed soup and an equal amount of water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.

    Heat 1 frozen, unopened bag of cauliflower and broccoli mix in the microwave until hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Let stand for about 2 minutes; open the bag and transfer vegetables to a medium bowl. Repeat with the remaining bag.

    Melt butter in another large saucepan over medium heat. Add milk and salt; stir in remaining condensed soup. Add flour slowly, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Add Cheddar cheese. Cook and stir until cheese sauce is thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic powder.

    Layer 1/2 of the vegetables into the bottom of a baking pan or casserole dish. Top with 1/2 of the cooked chicken and pour in 1/2 of the cheese sauce. Sprinkle 1/4 cup bread crumbs in a light layer. Repeat layers with remaining vegetables, chicken, cheese sauce, and bread crumbs. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.

    Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.
