  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the condensed chicken soup, Italian seasoning, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.

  5. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs evenly over the chicken mixture.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  1. Chicken Prep: Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for a quick shortcut.
  2. Cracker Topping: Crush the Ritz crackers finely for an even, crispy topping.
  3. Customization: Add veggies like peas, carrots, or broccoli for extra nutrition.
  4. Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.
