📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil and set it aside.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, usually 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.

4

Fold the cooked macaroni into the chicken mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.

5

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

6

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the breadcrumbs are coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

7

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.

8

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Barbecue Chicken Casserole!
