Microwave Chicken Casserole


1 to 1 1/2 lbs chicken (cubed)
1 12 to 16 oz bag frozen vegetables
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup herb bread crumbs

1 cup additional herb bread crumbs (for topping)

Place cubed chicken into glass microwaveable dish and cover with cling wrap. Cook on 70 to 80% power for 5 to 6 minutes. Place bag of frozen vegtables in the microwave next to the chicken and cook at the same time for the same length of time. If the chicken doesn't look done after 5 minutes, Cook at 2 minute intervals until "almost" done.

Mix first 5 ingredients together and put into glass microwave/oven safe casserole dish. Top with additional bread crumbs.

Cook on 70 to 80% power for another 3 to 5 minutes.

If your bread crumb topping is no longer crunchy, you can place the casserole in a 450 degrees preheated oven for about 5 minutes or you can use the convection portion of your microwave if yours has that option.

If your topping is too crunchy. Cook covered for another minute in microwave and let stand while covered for an additional 5 minutes.

This recipe is based on an 1100 watt microwave. The entire process should take no longer than 30 minutes. Average time is 20.

This will serve 4 people 1 helping. If you are cooking for 6 to 8, you will need to double the recipe and use a bigger casserole dish.
