  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

  4. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle the buttered Ritz cracker mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
