Ingredients

Scale

Casserole Base

  • 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well!)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus an additional ½ cup for topping
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (optional but recommended)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz)
  • ½ cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. If adding mixed vegetables, toss them in now with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Assemble the casserole: Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  3. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed crackers and melted butter until well mixed. Sprinkle this crunchy topping evenly over the chicken mixture.
  4. Add extra cheese: Top the casserole with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and bubbly. The topping should be golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and enhance flavors.

Notes

  • Use leftover chicken for an economical and time-saving preparation.
  • Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added flavor variations.
  • Prepare the casserole ahead of time; cover it with foil and store in the fridge. Bake it when ready to serve.
