- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, and then shred it using two forks.
In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
Add the shredded chicken to the mixture and stir until coated evenly.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Stir until the crackers are coated in the butter.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the chicken mixture in the casserole dish.
Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy sour cream chicken casserole!
