Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned (they do not need to be fully cooked). Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the thawed mixed vegetables.
Spread half of the soup and vegetable mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay the seared chicken breasts on top of the mixture, then evenly spread the remaining soup and vegetable mixture over the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Layered Chicken Bake!
