A delightful chicken casserole with a creamy base and a crunchy topping, perfect for family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cook the chicken breasts until fully done, then let them cool slightly.
Boiling or baking the chicken are both great options.
Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and layer them in a casserole dish.
Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
In a bowl, mix the sour cream and condensed soup until smooth, then spread this mixture over the chicken.
Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and mix in the crushed crackers.
Crush the crackers finely for a more even topping.
Spread the cracker mixture over the creamy layer in the casserole dish.
Press down gently to ensure the topping adheres to the creamy layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Check occasionally to prevent over-browning.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Cooling helps the layers set for easier serving.
