How to Make Poppyseed Chicken Casserole

I love this dish! It goes well with white rice and is the perfect addition to a potluck dinner.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• 1 package skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 sleeve Ritz crackers
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 16 oz. tub of sour cream
• 1 stick of butter
• 2 cans Campbell's cream of chicken soup
• 1 large mixing bowl
• 1 small mixing bowl
• 1 casserole dish
• 1 baking pan
• a knife
• a mixing spoon

Prepare the chicken

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Unwrap the chicken and use a knife (or kitchen scissors) to cut the fat off the meat. Discard the fat.

3. Lay the chicken pieces in the baking pan and bake for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until done – when the chicken turns golden and the center can be easily cut.

4. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the casserole

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, Campbell's cream of chicken soup and chicken pieces.

2. Mix well.

3. Set the casserole mixture aside.

Prepare the topping

1. Put the butter in the small mixing bowl and microwave until melted (around one minute).

2. Keeping the Ritz tube sealed, crush the crackers into crumbs with your fingers.

3. Mix the melted butter, cracker crumbs and poppy seeds in the small mixing bowl.

Bake

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Spoon the chicken casserole mixture into the casserole dish.

3. Spoon the cracker mixture across the top of the casserole.

4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake the casserole for 1-1/2 hours or until done – when the casserole is bubbling and smells delicious.

5. Enjoy!
