Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups cooked rice or pasta
- 1 cup crushed buttery crackers
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything until well incorporated.
Add the cooked rice or pasta to the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together the crushed buttery crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole for a crispy topping.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
