The anticipation of using lighter, brighter items in cooking increases in tandem with the arrival of spring. In this case, my Spring Veggie Loaded Potato and Chicken Casserole becomes useful. The recipe is warm and cozy, and it tastes just like the season. This dish is the ideal combination of heavy ingredients like potatoes and chicken with lighter ones like spring veggies; it’s great for weekday dinners or a warm weekend dinner. It’s a perfect way to welcome the change of seasons while indulging in those hearty comfort foods!
Even though this substantial dish is delicious on its own, it really comes alive when served with a simple green salad drizzled with vinaigrette. To make it a heartier dinner, try it with some crusty bread for dipping in the creamy sauce. After that, a refreshing lemon sorbet would be the ideal dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Recipe Items
oil from olives, 2 teaspoons
1 pound of diced chicken breasts, 3 cups of peeled and cubed potatoes, 1 big onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 cup of sliced carrots, 1 cup of chopped asparagus, and 1 cup of peas
100 grams of broccoli florets
thyme, dry, 1 teaspoon

How to Follow
1. Set the oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
2. In a big skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once browned, add the diced chicken and continue cooking until done. Cut chicken into pieces and put aside.

Four, combine the broccoli, peas, carrots, and asparagus. Keep cooking for another five minutes.
5. Add flour, thyme, salt, and pepper to the veggies. Add more flour if necessary to coat the veggies, then stir.
6. With constant stirring, gradually incorporate the milk and chicken broth until the sauce thickens.
Step 7: Put the chicken back in the skillet. Blend all the ingredients together by stirring.
Eight, top with shredded cheddar cheese and transfer to a buttered baking tray.
Nine. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling and brown.
Wait a few minutes for it to cool before serving.
Changes and Hints
You can make this dish with less fat by using low-fat milk and whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You may also add bell peppers and zucchini if you like them, or any other spring veggies you happen to have on hand. For those who want a crunchier topping, combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and then scatter it over the dish before baking.
