Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole


Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole


This is for 2 casserole dishes - bake one now and freeze one for later!
or
For one casserole - choose only 1 can of soup and cut other ingredients in half.

Ingredients

6 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
2 (16oz.) container sour cream
2 TBLS poppy seeds

Topping:
3 sleeves Ritz Crackers - crushed
½ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Mix together chicken, soups, sour cream and poppy seeds.  Divide in ½ and spoon into 2 greased baking dishes.

Pour melted butter with crushed crackers and poppy seeds and mix together.  Spoon evenly over both chicken casserole dishes.  Bake at 350°F for about 30-40 minutes until bubbly and crackers appear slightly browned.

Serve over steamed rice with a side of steamed fresh green beans, broccoli, or carrots for that southern comfort!

**Freezer option:  Before baking, cover with wax paper and foil and freeze.  To cook, remove wax paper and foil and bake at 350°F for 60-90 minutes watching for it to bubble.
