Add the cooked rice and shredded chicken to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Pour the rice and chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole in an even layer.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Crush the Ritz crackers into crumbs and mix them with the melted butter until well combined.
Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs evenly over the cheddar cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
