The ultimate Southern comfort food: a rich, creamy, and cheesy chicken bake topped with a buttery, crispy Ritz cracker crust. It is ready for the oven in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1½ cups cheddar cheese grated
1 sleeve butter crackers such as Ritz, crushed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
Stir together the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until evenly combined.
Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, then top with half of the grated cheddar cheese.
Spread the remaining chicken mixture over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheddar, followed by the crushed butter crackers.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the cracker topping is golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Wait until right before baking to add the crushed crackers so they stay incredibly crispy and golden.
