  6. Add the 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. Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for the shredded chicken.
  • Add Veggies: For extra nutrition, mix in 1 cup of frozen peas, carrots, or broccoli into the chicken mixture.
  • Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a little kick.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
