Poppy Seed Chicken

Albertson's has boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale this week for $2.49 a pound. This is a good and quick recipe. Nearly everyone has a version of this - but it never hurts to remember how very good this is!

Poppy Seed Chicken
3 whole chicken breasts, cooked and pulled apart
2 10 oz. cans cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. carton sour cream
2 Tablespoons poppy seeds
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crumbled
8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
Cook the chicken, cool to handle, and chop or pull apart. Mix the chicken, soup, sour cream, and poppy seeds. Put this into a casserole dish (always spray with cooking oil first). Sprinkle the cheese on top. Put the crumbled ritz crackers on top of that. If you want, you can melt about 3 tablespoons of butter and drizzle that over the cracker crumbs.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

At Camp Travis (part of the TBarM family of camps), Sammy the cook would serve this with broccoli and salad. It is also very good served over egg noodles. That is a great meal stretcher too, if you are feeding hungry boys and men.
