3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
4. In a small bowl, mix the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter until coated.

Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for a faster prep and extra flavor.
Do not overbake the casserole or the filling can lose some of its creamy texture.
For extra cheesiness, add a little more shredded cheddar over the filling before adding the cracker topping.
