The dinner that cooks itself while you pretend to fold laundry. Creamy, cozy, spicy-sweet, and so easy it feels like cheating — meet your new weeknight MVP.

This isn’t your average chicken casserole. It’s packed with creamy sauce, tender chicken, and topped with a crunchy, buttery Ritz cracker crust — all slow-cooked to perfection. But what makes it really special? A dash (or two) of Wood’s Ghosted Maple Syrup — a spicy-sweet maple blend that turns “what’s for dinner?” into “can I have thirds?”

💡 Notes & Substitutions

Use Wood’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup if you want a non-spicy version.
Greek yogurt works in place of sour cream.
Leftovers reheat beautifully — even straight from the fridge. We won’t tell.
