Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole Recipe
This Poppy Seed Chicken Recipe is a classic chicken casserole that's super easy to make! Filled with creamy chicken topped with buttery Ritz crackers, it's the perfect easy weeknight dinner the whole family will love.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup approximately 2½ cups
- ½ cup sour cream full-fat, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 4½ cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup Ritz crackers crushed
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and poppy seeds to a large mixing bowl. Mix well until smooth and combined. Transfer the chicken to an 8x11-inch casserole dish and pour the cream of chicken soup over the chicken. Stir until all the chicken is covered in the soup mixture.
- Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers evenly on top of the chicken, then drizzle the melted butter over the crackers.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the crackers are a toasted golden brown. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve over cooked rice or mashed potatoes with a side of roasted veggies, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Note: This recipe is very saucy - which I love, especially when I serve it with rice. Allowing it to cool off a little (but still keeping it warm) helps it thicken slightly.
