Dolly Parton’s Famous 5-Ingredient Casserole is a simple, creamy, and cheesy Southern comfort dish made with shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, mixed vegetables, and cheddar cheese. It's easy to prepare and perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great!)

1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

1 (8 oz) container sour cream

1 (16 oz) bag frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the surface.
  5. If using, sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers over the cheese layer for added crunch.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor.
  • Fresh vegetables can be used if cooked beforehand.
  • Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup or homemade white sauce for a vegetarian option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze assembled casserole (before baking) for up to 3 months; bake from frozen at 350°F for 50–60 minutes.
  • Reheat leftovers in microwave or oven until heated through.
  • Optional Ritz cracker topping adds crunch but can be omitted for gluten-free version.
