Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons hot sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste

Topping

  • 1 sleeve buttery crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Combine main ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, slivered almonds, crumbled bacon, and hot sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare cracker topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are well coated.
  4. Assemble casserole: Transfer the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs over the top of the chicken mixture to form a crunchy topping.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This casserole pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use leftover or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust hot sauce amount to your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute crackers with gluten-free crackers.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add extra baking time if baking from cold.
  • Slivered almonds add a nice crunch but can be omitted for nut allergies.
