For a richer flavor, try using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You'll need to increase the cooking time slightly. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Peas, carrots, green beans, or corn would all be delicious additions. If you don't have buttery round crackers, you can use any type of cracker or even bread crumbs. To prevent the cracker topping from burning, you can tent the casserole with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. For easy cleanup, spray your baking dish with non-stick cooking spray before adding the chicken mixture.
