Don’t forget to add the Ritz!
Taken from:
Amandascooking.com
Preptime: 40 minutes
Cook Time: ~ 50 minutes
Servings: 8-12
Starting out:
- Prep your Broccoli, don’t let it get too mushy. I steam mine for 3-5 minutes to let out the color.
- Prep your chicken. If using store bought rotisserie, shred it down to use 4 cups.
- Prep your Egg Noodles
- Use a 9×13 casserole dish, coat it with butter so the casserole doesn’t stick.
- SOFTEN the cream cheese
Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
- 16 oz bag of Egg Noodles
- 2-3 Broccoli Crowns (however much you really want. 2 is good for us)
- 4 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 10.75 oz condensed cream of chicken soup as-is, do NOT add water/milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 32 Ritz crackers 1 sleeve
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and seasoning. Mix well.
- To the same bowl add the chicken, broccoli and finally the noodles. Stir to coat well. Pour into your prepped 9×13 casserole dish.
- In a separate medium bowl add a sleeve of Ritz crackers and crush into small bits. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat the crackers.
- Top the casserole with the Ritz crackers.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.
- *Add salt and pepper to taste. This is also excellent with red pepper flakes.
*There is no added salt to this dish. The salt will come out of the Ritz crackers, cooked chicken, condensed soup and cheddar cheese.
