In a small bowl, combine the 2 cups of crushed butter crackers with the ¼ cup melted butter. Stir until all the crumbs are coated in that delicious buttery goodness.
Then, sprinkle the cracker topping generously over the chicken and vegetable filling. This is what gives your casserole that golden, crispy top layer that everyone fights over.
7. Bake to Perfection
Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until:
- The topping is beautifully golden brown
- The edges are bubbling
- The chicken is fully cooked and tender
Your kitchen will smell amazing by this point — like comfort and home all wrapped into one dish.
8. Let It Rest, Then Serve
Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to serve.
If desired, sprinkle a little chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Then dig in!
