As far as I can tell, any time “million dollar” is included in a recipe title, it means there’s cream cheese involved, which is totally fine by me. That’s exactly what is going on with Million Dollar Chicken Casserole, which features not only cream cheese but a bunch of other goodies that make for one extremely creamy and comforting bake that also happens to be very simple to make. (Oh, there’s an irresistibly crunch Ritz cracker topping too.)
You can thank sour cream, cottage cheese, cream of chicken soup, and cream cheese for the creaminess here. All you have to do is mix those guys together with a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley…
… before you fold in a few cups of shredded chicken. (Leftover rotisserie hanging out in the fridge, anyone? Make this!)
