A family favorite, Baked Crack Chicken Casserole is an easy, delicious dinner that’s loaded with flavors. This comfort food will become your go-to recipe for busy weeknights.
Chicken, cheddar, bacon, ranch seasoning, Greek yogurt, cream of chicken soup, and buttery crackers, all ingredients you probably already have on hand make up this delectable recipe.
This creamy chicken casserole is loaded with bacon and cheese then topped with buttery crackers. It quickly became our family favorite. It went on rotation on my meal plan for every other week we like it so much!
For easy prep, use a rotisserie or leftover chicken! I always cook extra chicken for recipes like this. When I don’t have leftover chicken, I purchase a rotisserie chicken from the store. They are so delicious, perfect every time and ideal for quick meals.
I like to serve Deconstructed Green Bean Bundles or Broccoli Salad and Soft Fluffy Yeast Rolls with this casserole recipe. These recipes are equally as delicious and easy to make as the chicken.
Baked Crack Chicken Casserole
- This is a wonderful casserole to freeze. Add the crackers and butter topping before baking the casserole.
- As well, you can put in it the fridge the night before then bake it as instructed below.
- I love my freezer-to-oven 9×13 pan with a lid for recipes like this!
- If it’s completely thawed, the cooking time will be as indicated below. You can always test the center to ensure it’s hot.
- If it lasts that long, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
