Ingredients
  • 5-6 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (I used rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cans (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (approximately 1-1/2 rolls)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 2 cups cooked rice
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven (350°F) = (176°C). Gather all of your ingredients.

  2. Grab a large bowl and combine the cubed chicken, the 2 cans of soup, and sour cream.

  3. Now, add the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly.

  4. Crush the Ritz crackers with a rolling pin in a bar, or chop using a food processor, if you have one.

  5. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers, the poppy seeds, and melted butter, mix until crackers are covered with butter. I only used 1-1/2 rolls of the Ritz crackers.

  6. Spray some vegetable spray in a 9-inch by 13-inch pan, pour and spread the chicken and sour cream mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Now sprinkle the cracker mixture over the top of the chicken pieces. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the sheet of foil and bake another 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

  7. We serve it with rice or mashed potatoes, I really like the flavor and texture of Jasmine, basmati, or long-grain rice. Enjoy!
