Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (or similar butter crackers)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the base sauce.
Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken mixture to create a cheesy layer.
Crush the Ritz crackers into crumbs and place them in a small bowl. Mix in the melted butter until the crumbs are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Quick Fix Layered Chicken Casserole!
