Cheesy Chicken Casserole


This Cheesy Chicken Casserole makes a great weeknight meal.  I used a rotisserie chicken and it only took a few minutes to mix everything together.  This makes a ton.  I divided the mixture between two 8-inch pans and froze one (uncooked) for later.  If you freeze this, just cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, and then uncover and finish baking for an additional 20-25 minutes.   We both really enjoyed this dish.  It was super cheesy and delicious.  It was even great reheated for lunch.  Give it a try!

1 rotisserie chicken
16-oz wide egg noodles, cooked
24-oz light sour cream
2 cans 98% fat free cream of chicken soup
8-oz shredded Cheddar cheese
8-oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1 sleeve Club crackers, crushed
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons poppy seed

Preheat oven to 350.

Remove the meat from the chicken and chop.  Mix together chicken, noodles, sour cream, soup and cheeses in a large bowl. Pour into a lightly greased 13"x9" baking dish. Mix together cracker crumbs and margarine; sprinkle over top. Sprinkle poppy seed over cracker crumbs.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until crackers are crispy and golden and cheese is melted.

I have made this before! It is easy and it tastes great. Next time try to use crumbled Doritos instead of the Club crackers.

WARNING: Do not make this dish. Repeat. Do Not Make This Dish. You will not be able to stay out of it. You will not be able to stop at one serving. This happened to my entire family. We ate until we couldn't move, then sat in front of the TV all evening thinking of how to eat more of this stuff. Daughter didn't even finish her bread... and that's saying lots!

I love casserole!

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Joyce - you had me worried for a second. So glad your family love the casserole. Not eating your bread is a big deal here too!!

Chris said...

I have to make this and do it soon, Steph. I know my kids will love it, just like they did your taco casserole.

Sherri said...

I am going to make this tomorrow!! Could Ritz crackers be used instead of Club crackers?

Steph@PlainChicken.com said...

Sherri - yes, Ritz crackers would work fine. Hope you like it!

Shanelle said...

Sounds delicious! I have made several of your recipes and they are all met with rave reviews:) For this, do I need to cook the chicken and the noodles before putting in the baking dish?

Stephanie Parker said...

Shanelle - yes, cook the chicken and noodles before assembling the casserole.
