1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup crushed Ritz crackers (for topping)

1/4 cup butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, frozen mixed vegetables, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

      Prepare the baking dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
