Million Dollar Chicken Casserole

• Prep your Broccoli, don't let it get too mushy. I steam mine for 3-5 minutes to let out the color.
• Prep your chicken. If using store bought rotisserie, shred it down to use 4 cups.
• Prep your Egg Noodles
• Use a 9x13 casserole dish, coat it with butter so the casserole doesn't stick.
• SOFTEN the cream cheese

• 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
• 16 oz bag of Egg Noodles
• 2-3 Broccoli Crowns (however much you really want. 2 is good for us)
• 4 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 10.75 oz condensed cream of chicken soup as-is, do NOT add water/milk
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp onion powder
• 32 Ritz crackers 1 sleeve
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and seasoning. Mix well.
3. To the same bowl add the chicken, broccoli and finally the noodles. Stir to coat well. Pour into your prepped 9×13 casserole dish.
4. In a separate medium bowl add a sleeve of Ritz crackers and crush into small bits. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat the crackers.
5. Top the casserole with the Ritz crackers.
6. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.
7. *Add salt and pepper to taste. This is also excellent with red pepper flakes.

*There is no added salt to this dish. The salt will come out of the Ritz crackers, cooked chicken, condensed soup and cheddar cheese.
