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® crackers), crushed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for the casserole.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: 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 cooked bacon, and hot sauce. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure an even mix.
  3. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Make Cracker Topping: In a separate small bowl, stir together the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter until well combined and crumbly.
  5. Top and Bake: Spread the cracker and butter mixture evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is browned and the casserole is bubbly.

Notes

  • You can customize this casserole by adding vegetables such as peas or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
  • To cook bacon quickly, try microwaving it between paper towels for 3-4 minutes instead of frying on the stovetop.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
