PoppySeed Chicken Recipe: My Most Requested Dish

If I get an email or Facebook message from a friend I haven’t seen in 5 or 10 years, odds are high they need my poppyseed chicken recipe again. I have had SO MANY phone calls over this one recipe.

I’m not promising this is a healthy dish, but it is filling and delicious. Shout out to my college roommate, Nikki, who taught me this one. I’m pretty sure it was the first chicken recipe I ever learned besides “put BBQ sauce on it.”

Enjoy!

It looks like this before you add the crackers.

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 chicken breasts
1 stick butter
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream
1+ sleeve of saltine (Or Ritz) crackers Poppyseeds (liberal sprinkling over the top)

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 350.
Melt butter in 13 x 9 (standard) casserole dish in the oven while it’s preheating for 4 minutes.

Cut chicken into bite size chunks with kitchen shears. Add sour cream and the cans of soup into the casserole dish with the chicken and butter.
Stir it all together. Then spread it out neatly.

Crush the crackers over the top evenly as a topping. Sprinkle poppy seeds liberally over the top of the crackers.
Bake 40 minutes. Check to make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly. If chicken was still partly frozen, 50 mins.

I used reduced sodium cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup, and it tasted the same as always. I did use salted butter though.

Ritz crackers make it even richer.

What it looks like out of the over. The crackers are usually a little browner (more toasted) than this though.
