Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the diced frozen carrots, shredded chicken, frozen peas, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well coated with the creamy mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if you want a bubbly, golden crust.
In a small bowl, stir the melted butter into the crushed crackers or breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Pairs well with a green salad or a slice of crusty bread.
