<\/p>\n There\u2019s no need to take out a loan to make this for dinner. In fact, part of the appeal of this chicken casserole is that it uses affordable spice cabinet and pantry staples, along with a trio of dairy aisle MVPs, and your choice of leftover or rotisserie chicken.\u00a0 The \u201cMillion Dollar\u201d moniker doesn\u2019t refer to the price tag to make this weeknight-friendly dinner. Instead, it hints at the fact that the results are rich. The creamy, savory creation is \u201cso good, it’s hard to stop eating,\u201d according to Allrecipes senior editor Corey Williams.\n<\/p>\n In tandem with sour cream and cream cheese, cottage cheese is the trick to scoring such a luxurious consistency in this one-pan recipe, Williams adds. Atop that savory, well-seasoned filling? Ooey-gooey melted mozzarella cheese and crunchy butter crackers, both of which introduce welcome textural contrast.\n<\/p>\n Besides the flavor and the quick prep time (Invest 10 minutes to build it, and 35 minutes later, you\u2019ll have 10 hearty servings ready to share), Allrecipes team members and fans adore the versatility of this recipe.
