The preamble to the recipe: We, the people who cook, in order to create a more perfect unity of home cooking, establish just perfect dinners, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common dietary needs of our children, promote the general well being and secure the blessings of liberal servings to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this formula (Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole) for the united enjoyment of all gathered around the table.

Break crackers into crumbs and add to another bowl, pour melted butter over, stir to combine. Sprinkle all of the crumbs over top of the casserole.
