POPPYSEED CHICKEN
     CHICKEN-POPSD - Chicken casserole with poppy seeds
     This is an easy and good way to use some cooked 
chicken.  I
     got the recipe from my grandmother, who "hates 
to cook" but
     nevertheless seems to do a great job...
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     2 cups    cooked chicken (white or dark meat)
     13 oz     sour cream
     13 oz     canned cream of chicken soup (1 can of 
condensed
               soup)
     1 cup     Ritz cracker pieces (about 1 "tube" 
of crackers)
     2 oz      butter
     2 Tbsp    poppy seeds
PROCEDURE
          (1)  Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, 
and put it
               on the bottom of a casserole dish big 
enough to
               hold it.
          (2)  Combine sour cream and condensed chicken 
soup in a
               pan, and pour it over the chicken in 
an even
               layer.
          (3)  In the same pan, (save dishes!) melt 
the butter,
               and add broken-up crackers and poppy 
seeds.  Mix
               together and distribute over the chicken 
and
               sauce.
          (4)  Bake at about 325 deg. F for 20-30 minutes-until
               the topping is brown, the sauce is bubbling, 
and
               the chicken is hot.
NOTES
     Somehow this doesn't seem very nutritious.  Serve 
it with
     lots of vegetables.  Broccoli and carrots go well. 
 Use more
     or less of the ingredients to taste, or depending 
on how
     many you are serving. Use different soups.  Add 
mushrooms.
     Add other stuff.  Have fun.
RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 40 minutes.  Precision: 
no need to
     measure.
