# How to Make It:
01 -
Sprinkle on some chives and extra crumbled bacon right after pulling your dish from the oven. Serve it up hot.
02 -
Toss a few bacon strips in the oven at 375°F about 20 minutes till they’re crispy and brown. Let them cool down before crumbling for the top.
03 -
Pop the dish into the hot oven without a cover. Bake about 25 to 30 minutes. When it’s all bubbly and nicely golden, you’re set.
04 -
Sprinkle the buttery cracker topping all over the chicken mix. Try to get the edges too.
05 -
Stir up crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter in a new bowl. Make sure each crumb’s a little shiny.
06 -
Dump the chicken mix evenly into your buttered 9x13 pan. Spread it out, reaching into every corner.
07 -
Mix together your shredded chicken, chicken soup, cheddar and mozzarella, mayo, sour cream, bacon bits, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Stir until it’s all one big pile.
08 -
Set your oven at 350°F and rub a bit of grease around a 9x13-inch pan. Get it all set up before you start mixing.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Leftover rotisserie chicken can save time, but if you’ve got fresh-cooked breasts or thighs, use those for a juicier outcome.
02 -
When you take the casserole out, let it hang out on the counter for five minutes. Cuts down on messy servings.
