  • Chicken: For super easy prep, grab a rotisserie chicken from the store. Just shred it and toss it into your casserole!
  • Bacon: Precooked refrigerator bacon is convenient and tastes the best!

How to Make Neiman Marcus Chicken Casserole

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

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF, 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 ยฝ cup melted unsalted butter. Stir to combine, then sprinkle the cracker mixture over the casserole.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40โ€“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!
