something for the taste buds.

i have been having a lot of requests recently for my chicken poppyseed casserole.  i have been making this recipe a lot since it is my go-to meal that i make for families, like who have had a baby or just a surgery or something.  and there have been a lot of babies recently!  so, here is the requested recipe.  it is not the healthiest one out there.  i calls for one can of cream of chicken soup.  i am not a big of most canned sups for the ridiculous amount of sodium (and usually all the fat too).  but this is one of only two recipes that i use with cream of chicken so it won't kill me.  yet.  and i do use the healthy request version of this soup.  and since i do, i use the full fat sour cream so as to not lose too much of the good fat-flavor.  okay, on with the recipe.

chicken poppyseed casserole
you need:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz container of sour cream
3 cups chopped, cooked chicken
 (if in a rush i will use 1 rotesserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken myself)
1 palm full of poppyseeds
1 1/2 cups crushed ritz crackers (one of those tubes of crackers)
1/4 cup butter, melted

what to do:
preheat oven to 350.
combine first 4 ingredients; spoon into a lightly greased dish (i usually use 8x8).
combine crushed crackers and butter; sprinkle over chicken mixture.  
Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes.

and let me tell you that kids love this meal.  it is a great mild and tasty casserole and i have never had anyone not like (to my knowledge).

i made a double recipe for our home group over the weekend but took no pictures.  sorry.  but seriously, try this.  it is easy.  trust me.  i am trustworthy. you will love it!
