How to Make Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole

It’s the chicken and cheesy, bacon loaded sauce for me! And, since it comes together so fast, you’ve got time to whip up some air fryer broccoli and easy garlic bread while it bakes.

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F, then spray a 19×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, add the chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, almonds, and bacon, then stir to combine.
  2. Spread: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Topping: In a small bowl, add 1 sleeve crushed Ritz crackers and ½ cup melted unsalted butter. Stir to combine, then sprinkle the cracker mixture over the casserole.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes until bubbly. Garnish Neiman Marcus Chicken casserole with extra sliced green onions on top and enjoy!

Alyssa’s Pro Tip

Hot Sauce: Some recipes use 1 teaspoon of hot sauce to add a little kick. I left it out of my recipe to be more family friendly, but you can add it if you like!
