I had gastric sleeve earlier this year and have been on the hunt for recipes that I can fix that are simple, healthier, or loaded with carbs. I modified the basic recipe with vegetables and cheese which makes it tasty and satisfying by not loading it with pasta or rice (like I used to do). Yes, it uses butter and cheese. I'm better, not perfect. It's a journey, folks.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 can cream chicken soup with herbs (10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

How To Make ritz cracker chicken casserole

  • Step 1
    Boil chicken breasts (I used 4) in broth until ready to shred. Add shredded chicken to a large bowl.
  • Step 2
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add cream soup, sour cream, and spices. Stir until well combined.
  • Step 3
    Add to greased casserole (9 x 13) and spread evenly.
  • Step 4
    For variety, try adding vegetables and shredded cheese before the cracker crust. I have used mixed vegetables, broccoli, red potatoes and green beans. I have also used shredded cheddar and shredded mozz/provolone.
  • Step 5
    Crush crackers. Add melted butter and spread over top of casserole.
  • Step 6
    Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
