Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 1.5 cups crushed butter crackers (e.g., Ritz)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker topping evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Crunchy Chicken Casserole warm as a main dish, paired with a side salad or bread if desired.
