1 1/2 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
1/2 cup butter (separated into two 4 tbsp portions)
3-4 boneless chicken, cooked and shredded (The chicken MUST be shredded. If you chop or cube it, it won't taste as good and the texture won't be right)
3 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar
1. Melt 4 tbsp of butter. Mix with cracker crumbs. Put one cup of the crumb mixture into a casserole dish (I use a 2 qt). Place cooked, shredded chicken on crumbs.
2. In a saucepan, melt 4 Tblspns butter. Add flour. Stir until butter absorbs flour. Add milk and cheese. Cook on medium until thick. Stir constantly. It takes about 5 minutes to thicken up - It won't seem like it's thickening at first, but keep stirring, it will thicken to the consistency of a thick cheese fondue. Pour over chicken.
3. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top. Bake 10-12 minutes at 450. Keep checking so the crumbs don't burn!
