I have been tweaking this recipe for years and this is our favorite one. Everybody who tries it asks for the recipe !

Directions

Bring chicken to a boil then cover, reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes to an hour or until chicken is tender then remove from pot and cool for a few minutes. Remove skin and remove meat from bone. Tear chicken into chunks. Do not shred ! Set aside.

Heat oven to 350*F
In large bowl add the soups, water, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, onion powder, celery seed, and dried parsley. Mix well with whisk.

Fold in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar and chunked chicken . Set aside.

To medium bowl add crushed Ritz* crackers then pour melted butter over crackers. Mix well using your fingers .

Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
Sprinkle evenly with half of crushed cracker mix. Dump chicken mixture into dish and spread evenly with spatula or spoon. Top with remaining cheese then sprinkle the rest of the crushed cracker mix.

Thanks for sharing, Millie. Just finished eating this dish. It was so easy and very good. However I did not have the crackers because my son ate them ALL before I could get to them to use. So I substituted crackers for the French's Fried Onions. Turned out fantastic. I also made some rice. My son ate it and I have to say I was so surprised. I did not tell him those were onions on top or he would not have touched. it. Thanks again as this is a keeper for our family.
