Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 sleeves Ritz crackers
• 1 can Cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 box Stovetop stuffing mix

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

Cook the chicken breasts in a pot of simmering water or chicken broth until fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove and shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Set aside.

Step 3

Crush the Ritz crackers into coarse crumbs and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Fold the shredded chicken into the soup mixture and mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread the chicken and soup mixture into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.

Step 7

Prepare the stovetop stuffing mix according to the package instructions, using chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor. Spread the cooked stuffing evenly over the chicken layer in the baking dish.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir it into the crushed Ritz crackers until the crumbs are coated and slightly moist.

Step 9

Sprinkle the buttered Ritz cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole, creating a crispy topping.

Step 10

Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.

Step 12

Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
