Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 can cream of chicken soup with herbs (or regular cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or homemade soup)
- 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt; mayo substitution untested)
- ¼ cup chopped green onion (optional; swap for regular onion or shallot for a bolder taste)
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (or any cooked chicken—leftover, canned, or freshly roasted)
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (or use saltines, Club crackers, or unsalted crackers for less sodium)
- 5 tbsp melted salted butter (swap for unsalted if watching sodium)
