  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten-Free Optional

Description

A comforting and easy casserole with only five ingredients, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 sleeve (about 30) buttery round crackers, crushed
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until smooth and well-blended. Spread this creamy mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the topping: In another bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter until each piece is well coated. Sprinkle this buttery cracker mixture evenly over the chicken layer.
  4. Bake it: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Let it cool for 5 minutes before digging in to enjoy!

Notes

This casserole pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables, and you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
