This Chicken Casserole with Ritz Crackers is a creamy, cheesy, crowd-pleasing dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights or family get-togethers. Tender chicken is mixed with a rich sauce, topped with a buttery Ritz cracker crumble, and baked until golden and bubbly.
3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers), crushed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Add the topping: In a small bowl, combine crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken mixture.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if you like.
You can add steamed broccoli or frozen mixed veggies to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery if preferred.
Great for meal prep or freezing—just prep, freeze before baking, then bake straight from frozen (add 15–20 mins extra cook time).
