Good morning, family.
I thought it was time to add this recipe. I make this casserole when I want to eat something that feels like home. It's also a crowd pleaser for even the pickiest of eaters.
From what I recall, Mom says that this was the first meal that she made for Dad when they started dating. So, maybe this casserole leads to many years of happy marriage!
POPPY SEED CHICKEN CASSEROLE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken
- 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 60 Ritz crackers, crushed
- 1 tablespoon poppy seed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place chicken in a pan and cover with water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender and no longer pink(about 10 minutes). Once cool enough cut into bite size pieces(I use my electric knife).
- Mix two cans of soup with sour cream in a 13X9 inch rectangular pan. Sprinkle the chicken over the soup mixture.
- Place Ritz crackers in a plastic bag and gently crush them. Add poppy seeds and shake to combine and then pour melted butter over the crackers and shake again. Sprinkle cracker mixture over the chicken.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until it begins to bubble around edges and the crackers are golden brown.
