Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 cups (crushed) Ritz crackers
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter with the crushed Ritz crackers to form a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the soup and sour cream layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cracker layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the topping is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color.
To freeze for later use, assemble the dish in a freezer-safe baking pan up to the step before baking. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
