We make this at least once a month. We like to serve this with some green beans, asparagus or broccoli.
Even our broccoli haters loved this casserole. Combine chicken, cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and cream of chicken soup. Combine crushed crackers and butter, sprinkle over chicken mixture. Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes.
Notes: Use a rotisserie chicken for quick prep of the cooked chicken. You want the cream cheese to be very soft so it gets fully incorporated into the casserole. Microwave the cream cheese for 15 to 20 seconds if you are short on time. Can prepare through step 3 and refrigerate or freeze for later.
