Equipment

  • 9-inch Square Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients
  

Chicken Mixture

  • 4.5 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried onion powder

Topping

  • 1 sleeve Ritz crackers crushed
  • 5 tablespoon butter melted

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine chicken, cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and cream of chicken soup. Spread into prepared pan.
  • Combine crushed crackers and butter, sprinkle over chicken mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes.

Notes

Use a rotisserie chicken for quick prep of the cooked chicken. You want the cream cheese to be very soft so it gets fully incorporated into the casserole. Microwave the cream cheese for 15 to 20 seconds if you are short on time. Can prepare through step 3 and refrigerate or freeze for later. To bake after freezing, thaw completely and bake as directed above. For a gluten-free dish, use gluten-free Cream of Chicken soup and crushed pork rinds instead of Ritz crackers. I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.
