Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups (crushed) Ritz crackers
- 4 tablespoons (melted) butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Mix well until blended.
Spread a thin layer of the soup mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the dish in an even layer.
Spread the remaining soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery Ritz cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the chicken and sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the cracker topping for an extra boost of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). The topping should be golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
