Chicken Casserole with Ritz Crackers
Chicken casserole with Ritz Crackers might be one of the easiest chicken casseroles I’ve ever made. It has the comfort food ingredients you love—sour cream, butter, and Ritz Crackers. It’s perfect for a family dinner, potluck, or when you just want something cozy and delicious!
I am all about trying to get supper on the table as fast as possible. We have church on Wednesday nights, school activities, and lots of running around.
I am super tired and don’t always want to spend a lot of time preparing family meals. Ritz cracker chicken takes about an hour to cook, but you don’t have to be in the kitchen for more than about five minutes, and it’s one of the great comfort food recipes.

How To Make The Ritz Chicken Casserole
Gather your ingredients. Crush the Ritz Crackers in a Ziplock bag and set aside. I used one sleeve of crackers, and that was plenty. Melt the butter and pour it into a 9×9-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the crushed Ritz Crackers over the top.
Next, place the chicken on top of the Ritz Crackers and butter. Mix the sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Then, spread it over the chicken.
If you don’t like the store-bought cream of chicken soup, you can make some Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup.
Sprinkle the remainder of the Ritz Crackers on top of the chicken and bake uncovered for one hour. If you have thick chicken breasts, you might need to cook them a little longer. Thinner breasts can be cooked for approximately 45-55 minutes.

How To Store And Reheat Chicken Casserole
Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated. To reheat, place some on a microwave-safe plate and heat for two to three minutes or until the chicken is hot.
