Notes
Easily double this recipe and bake it in a 13x9 casserole dish. Bake until thoroughly heated through.
You can use a rotisserie chicken from the store or cook 1 1/2 - 2 lbs of chicken breasts. Dark meat will also work.
Make sure your cream cheese is well-softened at room temperature. You can use
homemade cream of chicken soup
if desired.
If you are looking for a substitute for the Ritz cracker topping, try saltine crackers or crushed pretzels.
