Dolly Parton's 5-ingredient Casserole
This cheesy chicken casserole is easy to make and comes together so quickly. Serve it by itself or over rice.
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken cooked & shredded or chopped
- 1 can cream of chicken
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers about 32 crackers, crushed lightly
- 1 and ½ cup cheddar shredded
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground is best
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Spray a 7x11-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
- Any leftover chicken, whether grilled, baked, or broiled, is good for this recipe. I like to use a rotisserie.
- Set aside ½ cup of the cheddar cheese. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients: chicken, cream of chicken, sour cream, Ritz crackers, cheddar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.3 cups chicken, 1 can cream of chicken, 1 cup sour cream, 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, 1 and ½ cup cheddar, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Spoon it into a 7x11-inch casserole dish. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the remaining ½ cup of cheddar over the top. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Note: Dolly Parton's original casserole does not contain salt, pepper, or garlic in it. However, after testing it, I decided it's better with these ingredients added. This is the only change I made to the recipe.
