How to Make Billion Dollar Chicken Casserole

Making Billion Dollar Chicken Casserole couldn’t be simpler. Start by grabbing a large bowl and combining your cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great here), Boursin cheese, ricotta, sour cream, mozzarella, parmesan, and cream of chicken soup. Add a little onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then stir everything together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.

Spread the mixture into a casserole dish and smooth it out into an even layer. In a small bowl, mix crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter, then sprinkle that buttery topping all over the casserole. Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF until hot and bubbly with a golden brown top. The result is a rich, creamy casserole with the perfect crunchy finish.
