    Ingredients

    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

    • 1 cup sour cream

    • 1 can cream of chicken soup

    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    • 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed

    • 0.5 cup butter, melted

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. This will ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
    • Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure even cooking.
    • In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter, and then sprinkle over the chicken mixture.
    • Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it covers the entire surface for a deliciously cheesy finish.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
