Ingredients
  

4 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup sour cream

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups crushed Ritz crackers

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Prepare the Casserole Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Pour the chicken mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.

        Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter. Mix until all the crumbs are coated with butter.

          Add the Topping: Sprinkle the buttery Ritz cracker mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the casserole dish.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the mixture is bubbly, and the cracker topping is golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy and crunchy Ritz Chicken Casserole!
