Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, bone-in chicken breast halves
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into thirds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 6 ounces sour cream

  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups crushed buttery round crackers
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Bring to a boil the chicken breasts, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and enough water to cover. Cover, reduce heat to medium low; simmer for 35 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup liquid. Cool chicken, remove meat from bones, and cut into bite-size pieces.

Spoon mixture into a 9x13 inch casserole dish. In a resealable bag, shake together crushed crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle crackers over the top.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
