Creamy Ritz Chicken Casserole is the kind of easy comfort food that’s perfect for a busy weeknight or a cozy family dinner. Tender chicken is baked in a rich, creamy sauce and topped with buttery Ritz cracker crumbs that turn golden and crisp in the oven. It’s simple to put together, uses everyday ingredients, and is a great way to use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 (10.5-oz) can cream of chicken soup
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
- 5 Tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Combine the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken mixture.
Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling around the edges and the cracker topping is golden brown.
