Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1.5 cups (crushed) Ritz crackers
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter with the crushed Ritz crackers to form a crumbly topping.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the soup and sour cream layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the cracker layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the topping is golden and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color.

Step 11

To freeze for later use, assemble the dish in a freezer-safe baking pan up to the step before baking. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.
