Equipment

Baking Dish

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
Stir in shredded chicken, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into the greased baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
In a separate bowl, mix crushed crackers with melted butter, then spread over the top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use reduced-fat cheese. Try adding cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor!
