Marcus Chicken
Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (about 6–8 slices)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sliced or slivered almonds
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30), crushed
- 4 tbsp (½ stick) butter, melted
- Optional: 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Shredded chicken
- Crumbled bacon
- Shredded cheddar
- Almonds
- Cream cheese
- Sour cream
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt & pepper
Mix until well combined (you may want to microwave the cream cheese a little to make mixing easier).
Spread mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
Sprinkle the buttery crumbs evenly over the chicken mixture.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Garnish with green onions if desired. Serve hot!
