For the Casserole:
- - 1 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
- - ½ cup cottage cheese
- - ½ cup sour cream
- - 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- - 1 ½ teaspoons Creole seasoning
- - ½ teaspoon onion powder
- - 1 teaspoon garlic powder divided
- - 5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
For the Topping:
- - 30 buttery round crackers e.g., Ritz, crushed
- - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- - 1 teaspoon sliced scallions optional, for garnish
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil to catch any bubbling over.
Prepare the Casserole Mixture: In a medium bowl, stir together cream of chicken soup, cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, Creole seasoning, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder until smooth. Fold in the shredded chicken and parsley until evenly combined.
Prepare the Topping: In a separate medium bowl, mix crushed crackers, melted butter, and remaining ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
Assemble: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into an 11x7-inch or 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then evenly spread the cracker mixture over the cheese.
Bake: Place the baking dish on the prepared foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the cracker topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced scallions, if desired.
Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
