# Ingredients:

→ Casserole Base

01 - Infinity pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
02 - Infinity can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
03 - Infinity can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
04 - Infinity cup sour cream
05 - Infinity cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - Infinity cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Topping

07 - Infinity cup crushed buttery crackers
08 - Infinity cup unsalted butter

→ Seasonings

09 - Infinity teaspoon garlic powder
10 - Infinity teaspoon onion powder
11 - Infinity teaspoon black pepper
12 - Infinity teaspoon paprika

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes or strips, depending on your preference.
03 - In a large skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until it is no longer pink in the center, about 7-10 minutes.
04 - Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.
05 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well-blended.
06 - Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and mix everything together.
07 - Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl, and stir again until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
08 - Pour the cooked chicken into the soup mixture, and stir until the chicken is coated evenly with the sauce.
09 - Transfer the chicken and sauce mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.
10 - In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Once melted, add the crushed buttery crackers to the butter and stir until the crackers are fully coated.
11 - Sprinkle the buttered cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
12 - Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
13 - Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop portions onto plates, making sure to get some of the crispy topping with each serving.

# Notes:

01 - For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the soup mixture for a bit of heat.
02 - To make the casserole even creamier, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
03 - If you want to save time, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breasts yourself.
04 - For a bit of crunch, add extra crushed buttery crackers or sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top before baking.
05 - Feel free to swap the cream of mushroom soup for another cream of soup, like cream of celery or cream of onion, depending on your taste preference.
