Description

A creamy, savory casserole that’s perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works wonderfully)

  • 1 sleeve of buttery round crackers (about 30, crushed)

  4. In a separate bowl, mix crushed crackers with melted butter until well-coated.

  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and golden brown.
  7. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, consider using a mix of your favorite veggies or cooked beans. You can also swap low-fat sour cream or gluten-free crackers based on personal preferences.
