This easy creamy chicken casserole is my mother's recipe and a family favorite. It's one of our comfort foods and regular easy recipes to make through a busy week. Can easily be prepared in advance, then popped in the oven for a nice hot meal. If making for the first time, add half of the sour cream and taste first. Add more if desired, tasting as you go, to reach desired flavor. Serve over cooked white rice.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 cups water
1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 (24 ounce) container sour cream, or to taste
1 (26 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix the crackers and melted butter together in a bowl; set aside.
Bring water and chicken stock to a boil in a pot over high heat. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the chicken; set aside. Whisk together the sour cream and cream of chicken soup in a large bowl. Stir in the chicken, then transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the cracker mixture on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your casserole the best flavor.
Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
Use a good quality cream of chicken soup: The cream of chicken soup is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soup that is made with real chicken and cream.
Add your own seasonings: The recipe calls for salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can add other seasonings to taste. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg, paprika, or thyme.
Top with a crunchy topping: A crunchy topping adds texture and flavor to the casserole. Try using crushed crackers, cornflakes, or bread crumbs.
Let the casserole rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken casserole is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and creamy chicken casserole that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
