TANISE'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH RITZ AND RICE



Tanise's Chicken Casserole With Ritz and Rice image

I have had several variations of chicken casserole but this one beats the band! I just experimented until it was what my family liked. You will see how it differs and how rich and creamy it is by adding just a few more ingredients. Rice makes it go farther. Makes enough to feed 10 people with leftovers! You can add water chestnuts or slivered almonds to add crunch. Cooking time does not include time to boil boneless chicken breasts. Looks delish!!! No calories skimped on here.

5 -6 boneless chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken, roasted
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

8 ounces sour cream
4 cups cooked rice (approx.)

  • Spread mixture into 9x13 baking dish sprayed with Pam.
  • Melt margarine and mix with cracker crumbs. Spread cracker mixture evenly onto chicken mixture.

CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH RITZ CRACKERS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Chicken Casserole with Ritz Crackers Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by amberwherley

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 chicken's worth shredded meat (I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store)
2 cans cream of chicken soup (we actually ended up using three)
Approx. 3/4 container of sour cream (you could use a whole container instead and just not use 3 cans of cream of chicken soup)
Approx. 1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 package Ritz crackers, crushed (Note: by package I do NOT mean a whole box!)
Copious handfuls of shredded cheddar cheese (not pictured)

Steps:

  • Mix together the chicken, soup, sour cream, and cheese in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a baking pan and spread evenly. Add crushed Ritz crackers all over the top of the mixture. Melt butter completely; spoon over the top of the cracker crumbs. Bake in a 350° oven for about 35 minutes, or until casserole is heated through and the cracker topping is nice and crispy. Serve and hope your family/guests/loved ones don't devour it in one sitting =) Such a ridiculously simple recipe -- I can't believe I haven't made it sooner, but I have a feeling it will become a staple. Hope you enjoy it like we do!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is overcooked will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality Ritz cracker. The Ritz crackers are the base of the casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cracker. Look for a cracker that is sturdy and flavorful.
  • Make sure the casserole is bubbly before serving. This will ensure that the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Chicken Ritz casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. With its creamy, cheesy sauce, tender chicken, and crispy Ritz cracker topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
