A creamy chicken casserole with tender chicken, velvety sauce, and crispy topping, perfect for cozy dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the shredded chicken and half of the cheddar cheese to the creamy mixture. Stir until the chicken is fully coated.
  4. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle the cracker mixture over the chicken mixture, covering the surface completely.
  7. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley, if desired.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the chicken to avoid drying it out.’, ‘Use a resealable bag and rolling pin to crush crackers evenly.’, ‘Sprinkle cheese under and over the cracker topping for a gooey layer and crispy finish.’, ‘You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.’, ‘Add paprika or dried thyme to the creamy mixture for extra flavor.’]
