Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups packed shredded rotisserie chicken (from 2 whole rotisserie chickens)
  • 2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 sleeves buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed (about 60 crackers)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Stir together shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, scallions, sour cream, chicken broth, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Spread into an even layer.
  5. Stir crackers and butter together in a bowl until coated, and sprinkle evenly over chicken mixture.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and crackers are golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  7. Garnish with sliced scallions.

Notes

  • To keep the topping from getting soggy, ensure the casserole is baked until bubbly and crackers are golden brown.
  • Plain Greek yogurt can substitute for sour cream.
  • Canned chicken can be used as a shortcut.
  • Assemble ahead, refrigerate, and bake before serving.
