Description
A cozy and comforting casserole combining tender chicken with creamy goodness, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (using rotisserie chicken is an excellent shortcut)
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until smooth.
- Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter until well coated.
- Assemble: Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the chicken layer.
- Bake: Place the assembled casserole into the oven and bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until it’s hot and bubbly with a golden-brown topping.
- Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before diving in.
Notes
Feel free to add vegetables like cooked broccoli or spinach for extra nutrition, or cheese for a creamy texture.
