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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the greased baking dish, creating a level layer.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle the buttery cracker mixture evenly over the top of the chicken layer in the baking dish.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Step 8

Serve warm, optionally paired with rice or steamed vegetables, and enjoy your Ritz Poppy Seed Chicken!
