Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Topping

  • 2 sleeves crushed Ritz crackers (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Then fold in the shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions evenly.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly into the greased casserole dish, making sure it is level for even cooking.
  4. Assemble the Dish: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter until the crumbs are well coated. Sprinkle this buttery cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to set and cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra green onions or herbs of your choice for a delicious and comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste based on your preference or dietary needs.
  • For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • This casserole pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake directly from chilled adding a few extra minutes to cooking time.
