Ingredients

Chicken

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ¼ cups sour cream
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

Topping

1 ¼ cups Ritz crackers crushed
¼ cup butter melted
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup. Mix until well combined.
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and pour the sauce over the top.
Add crushed Ritz crackers, butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to a bowl and mix until well combined. Spoon the mixture over the chicken.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the topping.
Serve over rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy!

Notes

Select chicken breasts of similar size so they cook evenly and stay juicy.
Combine the soups, sour cream, and seasonings until smooth for a creamy, flavorful base.
Lightly crush the Ritz crackers and mix with melted butter just before adding to the chicken to ensure a golden, crunchy finish.
After baking, broil for 2–3 minutes to make the cracker topping extra crispy and golden.
