### 👩🍳 My 3-Step Go-To Method
**Step 1: Combine the Sauce**
In a large skillet, I heat the soup and sour cream together over medium heat until smooth. Then I season it up with garlic powder, pepper, and a pinch of salt.
**Step 2: Stir in the Good Stuff**
I add the cooked chicken, pasta, and veggies straight into the skillet. Stir it all together and let it heat through — about 5–7 minutes.
**Step 3: Add Cheese and Serve**
Once everything’s hot and bubbling, I stir in the cheese until it melts into that rich, creamy sauce. Sometimes I top it with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs for crunch — but only if I have time.

### 💡 Time-Saving Tips That Make It Work
* **Rotisserie chicken** is a lifesaver — always keep some in the fridge or freezer.
* **Make-ahead pasta**: I cook a big batch earlier in the week and portion it out.
* **Frozen veggies** go straight into the skillet — no chopping or thawing needed.
