How to Make Our Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole

- Then, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, softened cream cheese, onion powder, salt, and pepper with a spatula until everything is combined.
- Once all the cream sauce has been mixed together, add in the frozen mixed vegetables and chicken to coat them in the sauce.
- When the chicken has been prepared, pour the chicken and vegetables into the 9×13 inch pan and spread it out evenly. You can use a large rotisserie chicken if you’re looking to make this on your busy nights.
- Now, in a small microwave safe mixing bowl, melt butter in the microwave, and then add in the crushed crackers and mix it all together.
- Then, sprinkle the cracker mixture over top of the chicken and vegetables.
