Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of the casserole.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, slivered almonds, crumbled cooked bacon, and hot sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Transfer to Casserole Dish: Grease a casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the chicken mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter. Stir well to coat the crumbs evenly.
  5. Apply Topping: Sprinkle the buttered cracker mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the casserole dish to create a crunchy crust when baked.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld and to avoid burns.

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked turkey for chicken if desired.
  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of hot sauce or omit it entirely.
  • Almonds add a nice crunch, but you can replace them with chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • To make it lower in fat, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese.
  • The casserole can be prepared in advance, assembled, refrigerated, and baked later.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
