Poppy Seed Chicken - A Southern Favorite

I came across this recipe about a year ago on another blog (www.kellyskorner.blogspot.com) and tried it for supper one night. It was a big hit and I've made it many times since then. It is easy to put together and very good served over rice.

I usually start it off early in the day by preparing the chicken breasts first. I cover 3 chicken breasts with water and cook until tender. Later, I shred it and then add it to the rest of the ingredients.





Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts, cooked, and shredded
16 oz. sour cream
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 T. poppyseed
Crushed Ritz crackers
1 stick melted butter ( I don't usually use that much. I melt about 4 T.)

Mix first 4 ingredients and put in 13 x 9 dish. Cover with crushed Ritz crackers. Melt the butter and pour over the crackers.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Serve over cooked rice.

I wondered the whole time I was baking it if it would taste good. It did! My whole family LOVED it.

If you live in the South, you've probably had this many times. I like serving this with sweet tea for the total southern experience:)

Let me know if you try it!

  3. I love poppy seed chicken! Once when we moved into a new house, a neighbor brought us dinner featuring this dish. You can just imagine how quickly I asked her for the recipe! But then I put it away and forgot about it. I happened upon again this year and made it a few times over the winter--my family loved it, of course! :)
