Dolly Parton’s 5-Ingredient Casserole


  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Non-Vegetarian

Description

A nostalgic casserole featuring shredded chicken, creamy soup, and a buttery cracker topping, perfect for family gatherings and cozy dinners.


Ingredients

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

Instructions

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

Notes

For a healthier twist, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
