Ingredients
1 lb Shredded cooked chicken
1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables
1 can (10.5oz) Cream of chicken soup
0.5 cup Whole milk
0.5 tsp Dried thyme
1 tbsp Butter or oil
1 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter or oil.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and saute until moisture evaporates and vegetables are tender.
Reduce heat to low-medium and whisk in the cream of chicken soup and whole milk until a smooth emulsion forms.
Stir in the dried thyme and lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Gently fold in the shredded cooked chicken and heat until the mixture is thoroughly warmed through.
Serve immediately over crusts or as a thick stovetop meal.
Notes
Ensure vegetables are slightly thawed before sauteing to speed up the process. For a richer finish, you may substitute the whole milk with heavy cream. If using a thicker version of the soup, thin slightly with a splash more milk as needed.
