Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 10.75 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup crushed buttery crackers (about 1 sleeve)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, sour cream, mayonnaise, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Assemble the casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken layer.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  1. Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
  2. Customize the cheese blend to your liking—try adding pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  3. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use low-fat mayonnaise.
  4. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow it to set for easier serving.
