Introduce the recipe and the granddaughter, Maddie.

Use 4 regular size cans of chicken breast, rinse them in water, and shred with a fork in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Add sour cream to the chicken and mix well.

Add 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and mix together.

Spread the mixture evenly on top without mixing it in.

Crush 1.5 sleeves of Ritz crackers and set aside.

Melt 1.5 sticks of salted butter in a bowl for about 45 seconds.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Combine the melted butter with the crushed crackers and mix until incorporated.

Sprinkle the cracker mixture on top of the casserole.

Set the timer for about 35 minutes and bake until bubbly and golden brown, checking for doneness after 30 minutes.

After 40 minutes, check the casserole; it should look golden brown and bubbly.
