Easy Weeknight Chicken Casserole

Created by a dear friend and colleague, Ali Harp. Perfect for busy school nights – creamy, comforting, and kid-approved!

Ingredients:

  • 1+lb of chicken breast
  • 1 box chicken-flavored Stove Top stuffing mix
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 soup can of reserved broth from boiled chicken
  • 8oz sour cream
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 4-6Tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350*
  2. Cook the chicken: Boil chicken breasts until cooked through. Shred with forks or mixer.
  3. **Reserve 1/2 or 1 soup can’s worth of broth from the pot!
  4. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of mushroom soup, reserved broth, stuffing mix, and sour cream (should be a soupy consistency so casserole isn’t dry upon baking)
  5. Spread mix evenly in a greased 9×13 baking dish
  6. Mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.

TIP: You can make this ahead and leave in the fridge to bake at the end of the day. Use leftover chicken to skip a step. Bake and freeze for those nights where the day just goes awry!
