Which tells me that you are just like me in the

fact that sometimes you just need an easy
casserole to feed the troops and call it good.

Now I know that casseroles aren’t fancy but

sometimes you just have to get ‘er done.

I’ll be honest…some days I’m lucky if I get a

shower and others I’m more together and
want to put a little more effort into dinner.

So I’ve included the basic poppy seed chicken

recipe which by itself is awesome…and then
additional ingredients I like to add to make it a
little bit more fantastic when I have the time.

Oh yeah, and kids love this which makes for a

tantrum free dinner table.

HOW TO MAKE POPPY SEED

CHICKEN

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place cubed chicken in a 9X13 casserole dish.

*Note: Some people layer some cooked rice
on the very bottom underneath the chicken
so that it’s a meal in one.

Stir together the condensed soup and sour

cream. If you wish to add the additional
flavorings stir in the Worcestershire, celery
salt, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper to the
soup and sour cream mixture. Pour over the
chicken.

In a separate bowl, stir together the crushed

crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle over the
chicken and sauce. Sprinkle the poppy seeds
on top.

Bake for 20-30 minutes in the preheated

oven, until the top of the casserole is
browned and the sauce is bubbly. Serve plain
or over rice. We like to eat it with steamed
broccoli and we mix it all together.

This meal is delicious!!! I boiled and

shredded three small- medium size chicken
breasts. I use Pacific brand cream of
chicken. We did rice and broccoli on the side
also. It’s so good!! Thanks for a delicious and
easy meal!!!

Hi! Would you know how many pounds of

uncooked chicken breast would yield 5 cups
of cooked? Just wondering how much to buy
for this recipe.

CHRISTY DENNEY — SUN, 24 MAY 2020

@ 01:19:21 EDT REPLY

Usually around 2 pounds of chicken

yields 5 cups. Doesn’t have to be exact.

This has been a favorite in our house for

years. We stopped using poppyseeds and
now refer to it as Cracker Casserole. Instead
of rice, we serve it over egg noodles.
Although gonna try mashed potatoes
tonight.

I know. My kids hate the poppy seeds

too!

So my husband and I tried making this

recipe today. It was very frustrating because
they listed the instructions twice but in the
second set of instructions they left out the
fact that you had to boil the chicken prior to
baking. Are use the instructions that were
under the heading “instructions“. In my
opinion this was a poor way of describing
how to make this meal. I have no doubt this
is a delicious recipe but just for those out
there looking at this there are two sets of
instructions and read them both carefully
unlike what I did ha ha.

CHRISTY DENNEY — MON, 23 MAR 2020

Kristina,
I’m so sorry that the instructions
weren’t clear enough. Hopefully I fixed
it to be clearere!

Agh! Disaster! What happened to the fancy

ingredient measurements?!?! I need them
now!!!

CHRISTY DENNEY — MON, 23 MAR 2020

@ 01:13:32 EDT REPLY

What a disaster is right? It looks the

recipe card had a bug in it and erased
that part. I fixed it! I’m so sorry.

Hello,

I was looking for list of additional

ingredients and the amounts. Thanks!

CHRISTY DENNEY — MON, 23 MAR 2020

@ 01:16:52 EDT REPLY

Sorry it’s been fixed!

MEGAN — MON, 16 MAR 2020 @ 20:16:03 EDT

This recipe used to list out the

measurements of the additional ingredients,
but no longer shows them. Does anyone
have these measurements?

HILDE — WED, 18 MAR 2020 @ 17:28:34 EDT

REPLY

I found this on a different website. It

looks the same ingredients, but I
thought it was more celery salt, at least,
if not more Worcestershire.

1 tsp Worcestershire
1/4 tsp celery salt
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper

I’m pretty sure it was 3 cups cooked

rice.

HILDE — WED, 18 MAR 2020 @ 17:34:46

EDT REPLY

I think it was 1 tsp celery salt. I saw

an old link to this site that said 1
tsp, but that was the only thing I
could see and when I clicked the
link it just brought me to this page
with the missing ingredients. I’m
pretty sure once I accidentally put
in 1 Tbsp instead of 1 tsp, so I’m
pretty sure it was 1 tsp celery salt,
not 1/4 like the other website I
found.

CHRISTY DENNEY — MON, 23 MAR 2020

@ 01:18:52 EDT REPLY

Sorry the recipe card erased them!

I might have to make this for dinner tonight,

I’ve already got shredded chicken in the
fridge! I like the idea of the poppy seeds too,
thanks for another great recipe <3

What’s the point of the poppy seeds? Flavor?
