Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 3 cups Shredded Chicken Use rotisserie or cooked chicken for maximum flavor.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Make sure it's softened for easy mixing and rich creaminess.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Contributes tanginess; Greek yogurt can be a healthier substitute.
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese Sharp and melty; feel free to add more for extra cheesiness.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Ritz Crackers Crushed to create a buttery, crispy topping; try crushed tortilla chips for a twist.
  • 1 tsp Seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder) Enhances flavor; adjust based on your preferences.
