Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter until the cracker crumbs are evenly coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
