Casserole Recipe:

I love making casseroles. It’s so easy to mix everything together and pop in the oven. Plus they taste amazing. I know casseroles can get a bad rap but I can’t help it but love them. This Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole is so simple to make. My husband even told me it was his favorite casserole I ever made! That’s saying a lot since I’ve made a lot of casserole days in my day. Here are a few more casseroles to give a try next. 

How to make Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole:

  • Preheat your oven.
  • Prepare a casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside. 
  • Mix cooked and shredded chicken with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and seasonings.
  • Add to the bottom of your prepared casserole dish.
  • Top your casserole with crushed crackers and melted butter.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes.

  1. I found this recipe years ago in my grandma‘s cookbook and we love it! The only difference is the Ritz crackers are spread on the bottom as well as the top and water chestnuts are added. Seems weird but add that crunch and really good.

  5. very good recipe. I love the chicken Ritz crackers casserole. I made one today and put cooked rice on the bottom and then the rest of the ingredients.

  6. I made with Campbell Cream of Chicken with herbs and added a drained can of Veg-all because to me this casserole needed more ingredients to call it a casserole! Hubby loved it and said it was the best thing I have made in 45 years of marriage!!

  7. Plan on making this but it’s only hubby and I so I’m wondering how to store and reheat leftovers?

    1. Hi Nancy, You can store this in the fridge and reheat. I would reheat it in the oven to get the crackers warmed up and crispy I think the microwave would make them so soft.
