EASY LAYERED CHICKEN BAKE
Easy, economical and comfort food! This is a hit in our house and I have even done a version of it in my crockpot on busy days. For a lower fat version, substitute half fat cream soup. You won't taste the difference. To make it faster, keep chicken breasts whole and increase baking time to 45 mins. I got this from a Kraft recipe magazine.

Tips:

- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken and vegetable pieces to allow for even cooking.
- Cover During Baking: Covering the baking dish helps create a moist and flavorful cooking environment.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
