Million Dollar Chicken Casserole
« Reply #-1 on: May 12, 2021, 06:35:05 PM »
I was practically raised on soup and casseroles—they are my comfort food.

A friend cooked this for me and gave me the recipe.  I subsequently found it on the Internet, here.

Ingredients
4½ cups cubed cooked chicken (≈1lb. 6 oz. or 22 oz.)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 (10.75-oz) can cream of chicken soup
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried onion powder
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
5 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
  • Preheat the pit to 350ºF.
  • Lightly spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • Combine the chicken, cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and cream of chicken soup.

  • Spread the mixture into the baking dish.

  • Combine the crushed crackers and butter and spread it over the chicken mixture.

  • Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes.
           
           Served

Tips & Comments
  • A rotisserie chicken is an excellent choice for the cooked chicken.  I cooked a seasoned breast sous vide.
  • It can be topped with crushed potato chips instead of Ritz crackers.
  • My baking dish was a different shape but about the same volume as the 9×9-inch dish the recipe called for.
  • I had to make a bit more butter & Ritz Cracker topping to get the covering I wanted.
  • You can stop after step 5 and refrigerate or freeze it for later baking.
  • To bake it after freezing, thaw it completely and bake it as directed.
  • For a gluten-free dish, use gluten-free Cream of Chicken soup and crushed pork rinds instead of Ritz crackers.
