This family favorite is perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends, offering a rich and satisfying meal that can be customized with vegetables and extra cheese.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Season the Chicken:
    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.

  • Prepare the Ritz Cracker Topping:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Stir well to coat the crackers evenly.

  • Layer the Sour Cream:
    Spread the sour cream evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

  • Prepare the Cream Sauce:
    In another bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour the mixture over the chicken and sour cream layer.

  • Top with Crackers:
    Sprinkle the Ritz cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

  • Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

  • Rest and Garnish:
    Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

  • Serve:
    Serve hot and enjoy this comforting casserole with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Vegetables: Add vegetables like broccoli, peas, or mushrooms to the casserole for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top for a cheesy twist.
  • Herbs and Spices: Season with garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like thyme or oregano for added flavor.
