- Place the chicken breasts in a casserole dish and pour the vegetable mixture over the top.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a little olive oil and sprinkle over the cheese.

- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
