This cook was inspired by the Neiman Marcus chicken casserole recipe from Allrecipes, a casserole version of the famous department store’s cafe dish. Saucy chicken, bacon, Cheddar, and almonds are baked with a buttery cracker topping in this quick-prep dinner.

- 1 ½ teaspoons Chrystal Hot sauce
- 1 sleeve buttery crackers, such as Ritz® crackers, crushed
