I bought a box of Ritz Crackers for my Baked Crab and Artichoke Dip on Christmas Eve…and had some left over. So…I decided to make a casserole and use them on top. My mama always said I was smart ;).
This supper will please the whole family. Enjoy!
This recipe serves four.
Shopping List
1 pound of cooked and shredded chicken (click here to see my Perfect Chicken Method)
1 (10 oz) can of cream of mushroom soup
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
about a cup of chopped mushrooms (I chopped up Portobello mushrooms)
1 (10 oz) box of frozen spinach, defrosted and all of the excess water squeezed out
½ cup of chicken stock (or water)
1½ tablespoons Italian seasoning blend
salt and pepper
1 cup of grated Mozzarella cheese
1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, lightly crushed
4 tablespoons of butter, melted
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with Pam. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked and shredded chicken, soup, Parmesan, mushrooms, spinach, stock, Italian seasoning and a generous pinch of both salt and pepper. Spread this mixture out in your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese down on top of your casserole and then sprinkle on your crushed Ritz crackers. Drizzle melted butter down over everything.
Pop this casserole in the oven and bake about 18-20 minutes or until the sides are bubbly and the crackers lightly browned.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Done.
Who knew a leftover sleeve of crackers could inspire such deliciousness?!
Also, this recipe is super simple to double! Just use a 9×13 casserole dish and double the ingredients!

Yummy! I had all the ingredients for this recipe on hand… And yummy! It was so easy to make and the Italian seasoning really just adds so much flavor to it. Thanks for the great recipes!
Lauren says
This may be a dumb question but how do you squeeze out the excess water from the cooked spinach? I usually burn myself because it's so hot. I know there's a better/easier way!
Mix and Match Mama says
I place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze it out over my sink!
Mary says
I tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago and we all loved it! So easy and so delicious!

Hi Shay! What would you have to go along with this? I only ask because my husband will probably want a side to go with it but I think I could eat this by itself! Thank you.

This looks so great! and my family loves anything with crackers!! but, my hubby can't do mushrooms….any suggestions for a substitution? Thanks!!
Mix and Match Mama says
You can either omit them or add in another hearty veggie like chopped zucchini or egg plant!
Emma says
Looks Great! However, I am allergic to spinach. Is there a substitution for the Spinach?
Mix and Match Mama says
Diced broccoli would be so good!
