Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup crushed butter crackers (optional topping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, squeezed dry spinach, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the chicken mixture.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
  6. If using a topping, mix the crushed butter crackers with the melted butter and sprinkle evenly over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much liquid out of the thawed spinach as possible to prevent a watery casserole.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup if desired.
  • For extra flavor, use rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken component.
