Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked chicken breasts, shredded or cubed
- 2 cups Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Ritz crackers
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1.5 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or cubed cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the chicken is well-coated and everything is evenly distributed.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the greased baking dish, creating a level layer.
In a medium bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse crumbs. Add the melted butter and poppy seeds, stirring until the mixture is well-combined and the crackers are fully coated.
Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the top of the chicken layer in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Serve warm, optionally paired with rice or steamed vegetables, and enjoy your Ritz Poppy Seed Chicken!
