A yummy, creamy chicken casserole which can turn into an elegant dish when the chicken breasts are left whole. For a variation, use boneless chicken breasts, but do not dice them. Pour the soup mixture over all, but sprinkle the cracker and seed combination over the breasts only and bake as usual.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic and free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and herbs are all great options.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is cooked too long will be dry and tough. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your dish. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and mushrooms.
  • Season the dish well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or whipping cream will give your dish a rich flavor. You can also use milk or half and half, but the flavor will be lighter.
  • Don't boil the cream sauce. Bring it to a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Boiling the sauce will cause it to curdle.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Poppy seed chicken is best when served hot.

Conclusion:

Poppy seed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and crunchy poppy seeds, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give poppy seed chicken a try.
