Ingredients
-4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
water to cover
-1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
-2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables (such as Veg-All), drained

Directions
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2:
Place chicken breasts in a large pot; cover with water. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Chop into small pieces.
Step 3:
Mix chicken, canned vegetables, chicken soup, sour cream, water chestnuts, onion, and Cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Pour into a large baking dish. Sprinkle crushed crackers over the top and dot with butter.
