1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, chopped celery, chopped green bell pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
Transfer the chicken mixture into a 9×13 inch casserole dish and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter, stirring until the crackers are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered cracker mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cracker topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
