Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Fold in the shredded chicken and shredded cheddar until evenly combined.
  3. Crush the Ritz crackers into a mix of fine and chunky crumbs, then stir in the melted butter until moistened.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and scatter the cracker crumbs on top.
  5. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have a rotisserie chicken, you can poach 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in simmering water for 15 minutes, then shred. For a richer topping, use up to 1/2 cup melted butter.
