Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cooked rice, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, cream of chicken with herbs soup, 1¾ cups shredded cheese (reserving ¼ cup for topping), and most sliced green onions (saving some for garnish). Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, melt together the cream cheese and 1 stick (4 tbsp) butter (about 30 seconds). Whisk until creamy, then stir into the chicken-rice mixture.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  4. In another container, melt ½ stick (4 tbsp) butter. Toss it with the crushed Ritz crackers, then spread the buttery crumbs evenly over the cheese layer.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
  6. Garnish with reserved green onions and enjoy!
