Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Reduced-fat sour cream
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups (crushed) Whole wheat crackers
- 3 tablespoons (melted) Light butter
- 0.5 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, reduced-fat sour cream, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the greased casserole dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed whole wheat crackers with the melted light butter. Sprinkle this crumb mixture evenly over the chicken mixture in the casserole dish.
Top the casserole with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the crackers.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
