Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole is a creamy and comforting dish made with shredded chicken, a savory sauce, and a buttery Ritz cracker topping. It’s quick to assemble and perfect for weeknights, potlucks, or make-ahead meals.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (about 30 crackers)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Optional: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1 cup frozen peas or cooked broccoli

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined. Stir in cheese or veggies if using.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter until coated.
  5. Sprinkle the buttery cracker crumbs evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • Add veggies like broccoli or peas to make it a one-dish meal.
  • Mix in shredded cheddar for extra cheesiness.
  • Substitute cream of mushroom or celery soup for a different flavor.
  • Add topping just before baking to keep it crisp.
  • Broil the top for 1–2 minutes after reheating to restore crunch.
