Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie works
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup condensed
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat
  • 1 sleeve buttery round crackers crushed
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • 9x13-Inch Baking Dish
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Combine the shredded chicken, condensed cream of chicken soup, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are completely incorporated and the texture is smooth.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
  5. Mix the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter in a separate bowl until the crumbs are well coated.
  6. Distribute the cracker topping evenly over the top of the chicken base.
  7. Bake the dish for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before portioning.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months for a quick future meal. If you are preparing this for a crowd, you can easily double the ingredients and use two separate baking dishes to ensure even cooking and a crispy topping.
