Chicken Casserole Topped With Ritz

When I decided to share this recipe with you, I realized that I haven’t used any cream of soups for awhile! At the first of my marriage, it felt like every recipe that I would make, had a can of cream soup.

We didn’t have the internet back then, so you relied on recipes that were passed down from generation to generation. I remember one time my grandma wanted me to make a certain dish and she brought over the recipe card and the ingredients. Now all we have to do, is look on Google and we find so many delicious things to make.

This creamy deliciousness has all the feels of your grandmas cooking but can be made in minutes because of all convenient things we have now!

TIPS AND TRICKS

SOUP: I used the regular cream soups but feel free to use the low sodium. If you do, I would suggest using some fresh herbs to substitute for the salt.

SOUR CREAM: I have used  the low calorie version before, and you really can’t taste the difference. Another option is Greek yogurt.

CHICKEN: I love using a rotisserie chicken, just for the convivence, but if you already for chicken at home, cook it up! You can also substitute turkey, hamburger for the chicken.

VEGETABLES: You can add broccoli, baby spinach or green beans to make it a complete dinner. 

 STORAGE: This will last in your fridge for up to 3 to 4 days, if covered tightly. You can also freeze it up to 3 months. I would double wrap it for the freezer.
