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!

You can print the recipe here.

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.

  • Hi April, an interesting sounding recipe that I would give a go, but tinned soups aren't a thing I can easily buy... Ooo I might have some luck in a tourist resort shop though 🤔.

    • No tinned soups in Greece, eh? I never knew that. Probably you are better off. They tend to be very high in salt. I wonder why there are no tinned soups over there. I just think it’s neat someone way over there is reading my blog. 😊

    • Rawsonjl, I'm getting back in the blogging game, and I don't remember the name of your website. Can you remind me so I can visit you?? Thanks!
