Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked chicken, either shredded or cut into small chunks
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley (optional, for a fresh finish)
Instructions
- Heat things up
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan so nothing sticks.
- Make the filling
- In a big mixing bowl, combine chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mayo, cheddar, and mozzarella. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper, then stir until everything is creamy and evenly coated.
- Spread it out
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared dish and use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.
- Mix the topping
- In a separate bowl, toss the crushed crackers with melted butter until they’re fully coated and buttery.
- Add the crunch
- Scatter the buttery cracker crumbs over the chicken mixture, covering the surface.
- Bake to perfection
- Slide the dish into the oven and bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Serve & enjoy
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you’d like a little pop of color.
