For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese to the cracker topping before baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of crackers for the topping; however, Ritz crackers provide the most amazing buttery flavor. If you don't have rotisserie chicken on hand, you can use about 4 cups of cooked and shredded chicken breasts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
