A rich, comforting baked chicken dish featuring a creamy sauce made with sour cream and plenty of cheese. This is a simple, family-favorite recipe perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup cooked white rice or egg noodles (optional)
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. If using rice or noodles, fold them into the chicken mixture now.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the chicken mixture.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time on weeknights.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • This dish makes excellent leftovers for lunch the next day.
