Creamy Chicken & Veggie Casserole

Submitted by ErinsKitchen08

"I modified a recipe given to me at my bridal shower. My husband and I are trying to eat healthier, therefore we added the vegetables. Also, can be switched up to fall under a Mexican casserole by using Mexican cheese instead of cheddar and using different flavored spices."
