Crumble 30 Ritz crackers (about 1 sleeve, 3.5 ounces) into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Drizzle 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) over the crackers.

Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the Ritz cracker layer.

Crush the remaining 1 sleeve of crackers and toss them in a bowl with the remaining half of the melted butter .

Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs over the chicken mixture.

Bake the casserole until hot and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
