Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken breasts cut into 1 to 2 inch cubes
  • 2 leeves Ritz crackers
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup or condensed cream of chicken soup substitute
  • 12 ounces sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Crush the 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers (about 2 ½ cups).
  2. Stir melted butter, 1 ½ cups crushed Ritz crackers and poppy seeds together in a bowl.
  3. Fold in chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until well blended.
  4. Pour mixture into a 9x13 inch pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix remaining 1 cup of Ritz crackers and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Spread Ritz cracker topping evenly over casserole.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Notes

  • Substitute - If you don't have the cream of chicken soup on hand, you can substitute cream of celery for a vegetarian twist or cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor.
  • Leftovers - Casseroles are a delicious way to use up leftovers. If you have a roast chicken for Sunday dinner, use the leftover chicken for this casserole.
  • Save time - You can also use canned chicken or a pre-cooked chicken like a rotisserie chicken in this recipe. This will save even more time!
  • Crumble topping - We love using buttery Ritz crackers as the topping for this chicken casserole. But if you don't have any on hand, you can substitute other types of crackers or corn flakes, or bread crumbs.
