Boil your chicken in a pot of water with the chicken broth.

In another bowl crush Ritz crackers into small pieces and spread over chicken mixture.
Place Dots of butter all over the crackers.
Place in oven preheated at 350* for about 45 minutes or until bubbly in the middle.
If crakers start to get too brown before done place a piece of tin foil over the top of chicken.

Tips:

To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can make your own by blending cooked chicken, broth, and milk until smooth.
For a crispier topping, use crushed potato chips or corn flakes instead of bread crumbs.
Add a layer of cooked vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or peas, to the casserole before topping with the chicken mixture.
If you want a cheesy casserole, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture before topping with the bread crumbs.
Serve the casserole with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
