A comforting Southern classic, Dolly Parton’s Chicken Casserole features creamy shredded chicken topped with buttery crackers for an easy and satisfying family meal.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works great)

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

1 sleeve (about 30) buttery round crackers, crushed

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Mix filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until smooth. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.

3. Make topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter until coated.

4. Assemble: Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the chicken layer.

5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly with a golden-brown topping.

6. Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, mix in a handful of shredded cheddar cheese or a pinch of garlic powder to the filling.

This recipe is perfect for using leftover or store-bought rotisserie chicken.

Pair with a side salad or steamed green beans for a complete meal.

You can prep this casserole a day ahead, refrigerate it, and bake when ready.
