Delicious Poppy Seed Chicken Recipe for Comfort Food Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 cups chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup bread crumbs

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup. Mix well.

    Make sure the chicken is well-coated for flavor.
  3. Add Poppy Seeds

    Stir in the poppy seeds into the chicken mixture until evenly distributed.

    Adjust the amount of poppy seeds based on your preference.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish

    Spread the chicken mixture evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Use non-stick spray or butter to grease the dish.
  5. Prepare Topping

    In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and bread crumbs together until well combined.

    This topping adds a nice crunch to the dish.
  6. Add Topping

    Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the chicken mixture.

    Ensure even coverage for a crispy top.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

    Check for doneness with a fork; chicken should be hot throughout.
  8. Serve

    Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch.
