Instructions
Preheat the Oven:

- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

- Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Spread the Mixture into the Baking Dish:

Add the Ritz Cracker Topping:
- Crush the Ritz crackers into coarse crumbs and sprinkle them over the chicken mixture.
Drizzle Melted Butter:
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the crushed crackers to ensure a crispy, golden topping.
Bake:
- Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Rest and Serve:
- Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow it to set and make it easier to slice.
