Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons of butter melted
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 10.5 oz of cream of chicken soup
- ½ teaspoon of onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon of salt or adjust to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon of pepper or adjust to taste
- 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers finely crushed
- 1 Rotisserie chicken
Instructions
- Begin by dismantling the Rotisserie chicken: remove the skin and bones, then shred the meat into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded chicken in a separate bowl.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven heats, lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir these ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers evenly over the top of the chicken mixture, then drizzle the melted butter over the crackers to moisten them.
- Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove the casserole from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
To ensure that the chicken in your casserole remains moist and flavorful, consider pulling it apart while it’s still warm. Warm chicken is easier to shred and tends to absorb flavors more effectively than when it's cold. Additionally, if you're looking to add a bit of a crunchy texture to your casserole, try mixing in a handful of toasted slivered almonds or pecans into the Ritz cracker topping for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
