Notes

Feel free to use store-bought rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken meat you may have (grilled chicken also tastes wonderful with this recipe.)

Cream of mushroom or creamy of celery are also good substitutes for the cream of chicken.

Regular bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers can be substituted for the panko bread crumbs.

Experiment with different types of veggies!
