Poppyseed Chicken

This is a very simple and tasty dish that your family will probably be asking you to make again and again! I got it from a friend and she got it from her friend... So I don't know it's origin but I DO know that it's delicious! And... slightly addictive. Hope you enjoy making this meal for others.


Serving size: 6
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (I sometimes use 2 or 3 larger cut Chicken breasts to avoid it being too meaty)
2 cups minute rice (I sometimes use 2 1/2 cups to make the base more fluffly)

2 cups boiling water 

16 oz. sour cream

1 can of Cream of chicken

1 can of Cream of mushroom soup 

3 Tbsp poppyseeds 

2 cups crushed Ritz crackers 

1 stick of margarine, melted

Directions:

1. Mix rice and water together and pour into 13x9 inch casserole dish.
2. Cover with saran wrap and let stand for 5 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.
3. Meanwhile, mix together chicken, cream of mushroom & cream of chicken, sour cream, and poppyseeds.
4. Spoon mixture evenly over rice.
5. Combine crushed crackers and melted margarine and sprinkle over top.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

*Sidenote: Allow your dish some time to cool off after you take it out of the oven. 15 mins or so. The casserole will hold together better. But if you don't care about the appearance and messiness just dig right in.
