Description

A delightful crowd-pleasing snack featuring tender chicken, creamy cheese, and zesty ranch dressing between crispy Ritz crackers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 packs of Ritz crackers
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well blended.
  2. Take a Ritz cracker and spread a generous layer of the chicken and cheese mixture over the top. Place another cracker on top to form a sandwich.
  3. Continue assembling the crackers until you’ve used all the filling.
  4. Arrange the assembled crackers on a beautiful serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding diced jalapeños or diced bell peppers to the chicken mixture. You can prepare the filling a day in advance to save time.
