Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Main Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
Toppings and Seasonings
- 1 cup crushed crackers (like Ritz)
- 1.5 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prepare for baking.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Shred Chicken: Use two forks to shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, making it ready to mix with other ingredients.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute all the flavors.
- Add Cheese: Fold in half of the grated cheddar cheese into the chicken mixture for a creamy, cheesy texture throughout.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crushed crackers evenly on top, then layer the remaining grated cheddar cheese over the crackers to create a delicious crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
- To make the cracker topping extra crispy, you can mix the crushed crackers with a tablespoon of melted butter before sprinkling.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
