Easy Chicken and Spinach Casserole

Easy Chicken and Spinach Casserole- only 8 ingredients needed to make this super easy creamy casserole with a cheesy cracker crumb topping.

Quick and Easy To Assemble

To assemble the casserole, just mix all ingredients (except cracker crumbs and cheese) in a large bowl. This step can be done up to 24 hours in advance, making dinner time a breeze.

Ingredients Needed

• 4 Chicken Breasts– cooked and chopped. You can either bake them or poach them in advance or purchase cooked chicken breasts from the deli of your grocery store.
• 2 Packages Frozen Chopped Spinach– thaw them and squeeze out the water so your casserole isn’t watery. I like to thaw the spinach by putting it in the refrigerator a day or two in advance.
• Mayonnaise– makes the casserole extra creamy. Sour cream can be used instead.
• 2 Cans Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup– cream of mushroom soup can be used instead.
• Lemon Juice– some acidity perks up the flavors.
• Pepper
• Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese– Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, or Swiss can be used instead.
• Ritz Crackers– make a buttery, crunchy topping.

Bake in the Oven

Once all the ingredients are mixed, transfer to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese and cracker crumbs on top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Want It Spicy?

If you want to add some heat to this casserole, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

How To Serve

This casserole is great with a green salad and some Yeast Rolls or a side of Southern-Style Green Beans.

Storage

Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.
