Ingredients

1 can cream of chicken soup with herbs (or regular cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or homemade soup)
1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt; mayo substitution untested)
¼ cup chopped green onion (optional; swap for regular onion or shallot for a bolder taste)
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or any cooked chicken—leftover, canned, or freshly roasted)
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (or use saltines, Club crackers, or unsalted crackers for less sodium)
5 tbsp melted salted butter (swap for unsalted if watching sodium)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 2.5-quart baking dish (or 9×9-inch pan).
In a large bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and green onion.
Stir in the shredded chicken until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In the same bowl, mix crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Serve warm with your favorite side dish!
