Ritz Cracker Chicken




Also called Sour Cream Chicken... Ritz Casserole...Poppy seed casserole...that yummy chicken stuff...whatever name comes to mind first!

A roommate in college shared this recipe with me, and it's become a family favorite. It's the perfect comfort food.

Ritz Cracker Chicken

1-2 lbs chicken, cooked and cubed or shredded.
(We prefer shredded. It spreads through the dish better that way.)
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
9oz box of Ritz crackers, crushed (About 2 sleeves)
1 T poppy seeds
1 cube butter or margarine.
1 TB seasonings - I use garlic and Herb
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Rice

Melt Butter. Add crushed crackers and poppy seeds. Mix, and set aside.
Mix Sour Cream, Chicken, and Soup. Season with Herbs, Garlic, Salt and Pepper.
Press 1/2 of the cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
Add 1/2 of the leftover crackers to the chicken mix.
Spread chicken mix over the crackers in the pan.
Sprinkle remaining crackers over the top.
Bake at 350 for 30 min.

Serve over rice.
