Crunchy Ritz Butter Chicken Delight
Ingredients:
1 cup crushed Ritz crackers
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with the cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
3. Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed Ritz crackers and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. This will create a crunchy topping!
5. Sprinkle the Ritz cracker mixture generously over the chicken layer in the baking dish.
6. Finish by adding the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the crackers for an extra cheesy goodness.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. Once done, let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
