Dieters, take heed, this recipe is probably not for you. On the other hand, those seeking warmth & comfort from a down-home Southern casserole, you're welcome. The healthy thing to do, would be to serve this with a side salad, or some kind of vegetable, but I usually serve it with Velveeta shells & cheese. That's how I roll.

1 cup sour cream
2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 1/2 stacks of Ritz crackers

*I got lazy & bought canned chicken (GASP!). I used the 12.5 oz can of Tyson Premium White Chunk Chicken, FYI.
You'll notice there are double the amount of ingredients in the picture than listed in the recipe. That's because I doubled this today - half for us, half for Mister Cathope. Delish!
