Found this in my aunt’s recipe box from 1968. She brought it to every funeral and wedding in our small town.

This oven baked 4-ingredient chicken with Ritz cracker topping is the kind of simple, comforting casserole-style supper that has earned a permanent place in church cookbooks and family recipe boxes for good reason. With tender chicken, a buttery crumb coating, and a creamy baked finish, it comes together with pantry basics and turns out hearty enough for a weeknight dinner but familiar and comforting enough for potlucks, holidays, and those small-town gatherings where everybody expects a dependable hot dish on the table.

Serve this chicken with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or fluffy rice to catch every bit of the creamy, buttery goodness. For vegetables, green beans, peas, steamed broccoli, or a simple side salad all fit right in, and if you are feeding a crowd, a basket of warm rolls and a fruit salad make it feel like a full Sunday dinner without much extra work.
