Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, diced celery, and chopped red onion.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the chicken salad mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are moistened.
