Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Pour the chicken mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

In a small bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are well coated.

Sprinkle the cracker mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

For a healthier twist, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. If you have picky eaters, consider adding some hidden veggies like finely chopped broccoli or spinach to the mix. For a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños. You can also switch up the cheese—try mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor profile. If you’re short on time, use rotisserie chicken to speed up the prep process.
