Ingredients
12 oz egg noodles
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
1. Cook the egg noodles in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
3. Fold in the shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Add the cooked noodles and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
6. Mix crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the top.
7. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened so it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
Don’t overcook the noodles; al dente keeps them from getting mushy after baking.
Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture, or add a splash of milk if microwaving.
