This is the kind of recipe that feels like home. I first made it on a cold weeknight when all I had was leftover rotisserie chicken, a sleeve of Ritz crackers, and a can of soup. I tossed everything together, popped it in the oven, and crossed my fingers. When it came out golden and bubbling, I knew I had a winner. One bite in, and it was like a warm hug—creamy, buttery, and just the right amount of crunch. Now it’s a staple in my kitchen, and it’s requested almost weekly by family and friends. It’s one of those “bring to every potluck” kind of recipes that disappears before anything else.
