Description

A creamy, cheesy, and satisfying chicken casserole that’s packed with flavor. This comforting dish is perfect for a family dinner or potluck and can be made ahead for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cups cooked chicken    , shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 2 cups cooked pasta (elbow macaroni, penne, or egg noodles)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional: peas, carrots, or green beans)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz) or breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Prepare sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Combine casserole: Add cooked chicken, cooked pasta, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and frozen vegetables (if using) to the sauce. Stir until well combined.
  4. Assemble: Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Add topping: In a small bowl, mix crushed crackers or breadcrumbs with melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake: Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

 

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • Swap the mixed vegetables for broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms if preferred.
  • This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Bake an additional 10 minutes if chilled before baking.
