Description

A delightful casserole featuring creamy chicken and a crunchy cracker topping, perfect for busy nights or family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works exceptionally well)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 sleeve of buttery round crackers (about 30 crackers, crushed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
  3. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter until well coated.
  5. Assemble the casserole: Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the chicken layer.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with a golden-brown topping.
  7. Serve and enjoy after allowing to cool for about 5 minutes.

Notes

Pairs well with a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or garlic bread. Customize with spices or cheese as desired.
