For a richer flavor, consider using bone broth instead of water when preparing the cream of chicken soup. Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder, to enhance the flavor profile. If you don't have buttery round crackers on hand, you can substitute with other types of crackers or even breadcrumbs. To prevent the cracker topping from burning under the broiler, keep a close eye on it and move the dish further away from the heat source if needed.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat an 8-inch baking dish with avocado oil cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the cubed chicken, thawed mixed vegetables, reduced-fat cream of chicken soup, and low-fat Greek yogurt. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (10 minutes)
03
StepPour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the crushed buttery round crackers. Lightly spritz the cracker topping with avocado oil cooking spray. (5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (30 minutes)
05
StepFor a golden-brown, crispy topping, lightly spritz again with avocado oil then broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. (5 minutes)
