Once your chicken is cooked, remove all the chicken from the bone and place in your casserole dish.
Preparing the chicken casserole dish
Chop the broccoli and carrots and mix with the chicken in your casserole dish. (You may want to add mushrooms – another zero point vegetable)!
My family are not huge fans of mushrooms but the option is there!
Get a bowl. Open your can of chicken soup and pour into the bowl.
Add the sour cream and lemon juice to the soup and mix through.
Now grate your slice of bread and cheese.

Next sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the dish followed by cheese!

I am going to pre cook the carrots. There is no way they can get done in 35 minutes. Or am I wrong?
Pre-cooking works for this recipe just as well!
