Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken with herbs soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup green onion sliced
  • ¼ cup green bell pepper diced
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper diced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 sleeves Ritz crackers crushed
  • ½ cup salted butter melted
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 2.5-quart or 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green onions, bell peppers, and garlic powder. Stir in chicken until coated. Spread in baking dish.

  • Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Serve hot.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Leftover grilled or baked chicken works just as well as rotisserie.
  • For an extra layer of crunch, toast the cracker topping briefly before adding it to the casserole.
  • Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate, then bake right before serving for a fresh-from-the-oven finish.
