Awesome recipe!!! I added peas, chopped carrots, chopped celery and chopped onion to the chicken cream mix and put a layer of cheddar under the cracker topping. I had no issues with runny filling, it was thick and delicious!

Thought this was flavorful but definitely needs to be served over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes, otherwise it’s a little soupy. I served over rice this time. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of brining and baking the chicken with the spices listed in the recipe plus brush chicken with melted butter and baking chicken for 18 minutes on 400 degrees. I then cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Much better than plain shredded chicken. I would make again.

I’m also doing 3 cups of egg noodles, also added a cup of water (since I was out of milk, but there’s SO much cheese in it, engh) to it so the noodles (cooked al-dente at the start) could soak up a bit more moisture, since it seemed dry. It turned out a bit wet so I ended up cooking it for a full hour uncovered. You definitely want to add at least 1/2 cup of milk if you do this. You can always cook it a bit longer to dry it out.

It firms up as it cools down.

Also used a tsp of garlic salt instead of 1/2 tsp of onion and garlic powder. Also added a 1/2 to 1 tsp of pepper, I just grind away with a pepper grinder.

Also skipped the Ritz crackers, and the butter. This dish is already a heart attack in a casserole dish.

It passed the first test – I didn’t go blind. Overall it turned out pretty well, but next time I’ll probably finely slice a red onion into it, add some fresh garlic and just plain salt. Maybe toss in some frozen peas or other vegetables or even a bit of vinegar, since I’m told it makes a sharper taste, although I’ve never done this.

This turned out similar to a tuna fish casserole which is what I was aiming for.

I’m sorry you had trouble. Did you just use the can of soup as the instructions say, or did you prepare the soup by adding water or milk?

I’m making this for dinner tonight but thinking about adding egg noodles. Have you tried this? Any recommendations? Thanks

Amanda, I followed your recipe exactly. It was a gloppy mess that my husband nor I could eat. We threw away all of it. I am sorry. It was inedible .

I tried this dish today, super easy and flavorful. Downside is that it reminds me of a hot “dip” rather than a casserole.
I made recipe without adding any vegetable or substitutions.

Hmm, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion and everyone’s palates are different, however it does make me wonder if you made a measurement mistake or if you substituted something. This is a very popular and well loved recipe, so I’m rather surprised by your comment. At any rate, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.
