Creamy Five Ingredient Southern Casserole by Dolly Parton (Print version)

A creamy five ingredient chicken casserole with cheddar and a crisp butter cracker topping, baked until bubbly and golden.

# Ingredients:

For the casserole

01 - 3 cups (about 450 g) cooked shredded chicken
02 - 1 can (10.5 oz / 298 g) condensed cream of chicken soup
03 - 1 cup (240 g) sour cream
04 - 1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
05 - 1 sleeve (about 100 g) butter crackers, coarsely crushed

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until evenly coated.
03 - Spread half the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle with half the cheddar. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture and cheddar.
04 - Sprinkle the crushed butter crackers evenly over the top, leaving some larger crumbs for texture.
05 - Bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the topping is golden. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.

# Good to know:

01 - Best made with rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken.
02 - Add the cracker topping just before baking for the best crunch.
