Ingredients

4 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Add-Ins

While the recipe works perfectly as written, you can add:

Garlic powder

Diced tomatoes

Kitchen Equipment Needed

9×13-inch baking dish
Large mixing bowl
Spoon or spatula
Measuring cups
Oven

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier later.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

If you’re using leftover chicken, shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.

Rotisserie chicken works especially well because it’s already cooked and packed with flavor. You’ll need approximately four cups of chicken to create a hearty casserole that serves the whole family.

Place the chicken into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Base

Pour the condensed cream of chicken soup over the chicken.

Using a spoon or spatula, stir until every piece of chicken is evenly coated. The soup creates the creamy sauce that holds everything together and keeps the casserole moist while baking.

Make sure there are no large dry pockets of chicken remaining.
