Juicy, filling, and surprisingly addictive, this recipe for a chicken casserole is very aptly named. It is definitely not a healthy weeknight meal, but it is absolutely worth it to make a big batch and just indulge once in a while.

Instructions

Notes
- This crack chicken casserole goes well with a side of broccoli or a great Caesar Salad.
- You can even put this Crack Chicken Casserole in a bun for dinner.
- I used Cheddar Cheese and it was great. But feel free to mix it up. You can try some Swiss cheese, Colby Jack, or pepperjack to add some heat!
