A warm, cheesy, buttery casserole that’s quick to prep and even quicker to disappear. This comforting Neiman Marcus classic blends tender chicken, creamy soup, shredded cheddar, and a crunchy Ritz cracker topping. It’s simple, satisfying, and always a hit at potlucks or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers), crushed 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped green onions, ½ tsp paprika for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Mix chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl until well combined.

  3. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter until coated. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken mixture.

  5. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

  6. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make-ahead tip: Assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Add 5 extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Freezer-friendly: Freeze unbaked casserole (without cracker topping). Add topping before baking.
  • Customizable: Add sautéed mushrooms, chopped spinach, or diced green chilies for extra texture or heat.
  • Gluten-free tip: Use gluten-free crackers and soup substitutes.
